In the Mail

Posted by on

So I got this book in the mail How to Fight Presidents: Defending Yourself Against the Badasses Who Ran This Country. Basically, it’s presidential trivia delivered in the format of tips on how to battle each president — knowing their strengths and weaknesses — with chapters like “Ulysses S. Grant Is the Drunken, Angry John McClane of Presidents” and “Ronald Reagan Is Like a John Wayne and Wolverine Hybrid.” It’s by one of the writers from Cracked.com, and if you’re used to the articles there, they tend to be entertaining and informative — and you feel less sleazy for reading one than you would for Buzzfeed article.

Reagan is the last president covered in the book, and I notice it skips over Jimmy Carter. I guess since a rabbit once brought him down, there isn’t really much to explain on how to fight him.

A little while back, I received some art from 4of7, a regular visitor and commenter on IMAO. He is an artist, and has his own blog, Little Worlds, where you can view some of his art.

Here’s another one of the pieces of art 4of7 shared, and that I’m please to now share with you.

Starting to teach my daughter to read. Explained to her that ‘p’ and ‘h’ together make an ‘f’ sound. Didn’t believe me. Don’t blame her.

So the fate of healthcare rest on us being able to convince Millennials to buy over-priced insurance over an XBox One?

We can fund all my proposals simply by raising taxes on people named Rich.

“First Sunday after the full moon following the March equinox.” The Council of Nicaea never again got to pick the date for a holiday.

“When’s Christmas this year?”
“I dunno; let me pull out my graphing calculator.” -if other holidays were set like Easter

It makes me feel racist that all my children are white.

Watch after the credits on Frozen because there’s an extra scene where a bald man in a wheelchair offers to take Elsa to a special school.
