Who the fuck wouldn’t vote for this guy?
On a side note, I know how tricky it is to get performers to do anything in one take, and wow.

Photography
I’m eager to learn more about photography as a business. Are there any pro photographers out there I could talk to?Happiness
I’ve narrowed happiness down into five categories.
- Love
- Work
- Friends
- Home
- Body
Can anyone think of anything I’m missing?
“ This one is pretty easy. It was Malia, my 10-year-old daughter’s birthday party. We were in Montana. And you know, she’s a Fourth of July baby. So often times, during this campaign, we’d be traveling during birthdays. And so we were in this small hotel, I think a Holiday Inn. And we had this big public thing. The staff organized for a smaller family party. And we were in this nondescript conference room—with—Malia and Sasha, Michelle, me, my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece. And there was a cake. And there was some food which wasn’t, you know, stellar. And the staff had put together an iPod of all of her favorite music. The Jonas Brothers and Beyoncé. And we spent the evening just dancing. And we were all dancing to their favorite songs. And they were laughing because, you know, obviously their daddy is dancing ridiculous. And Malia came up and said, “This is the best birthday I’ve ever had.” And she meant it. And—and I looked at her and I realized—you know, that she was growing up. And that she was wise, turning out to be somebody who would say that to her dad even if she didn’t mean it, just to make me feel good. And yeah, it chokes me up right now talking about it. Yeah, my kids get to me every time.

For our video Metaphor Free Radio, Morgan Whirledge produced these amazing song parodies. Unfortunately, we didn’t to use all of them, so here they are.
Yyoyoma pointed this video out to me recently. Remember when CollegeHumor was fifty or so people working on the top floor of a luxury apartment building?
I will repost this around every Halloween until it stops being true or funny.
Vince and I did this two Halloweens ago with Nick Raio and our friend Katie at Abracadabra amidst last-minute shoppers. This was back when I was directing and operating the boom. It was hell. Thank God it’s funny.
