Go Shorty, It’s Your Birfday!

I know it seems like most of the media is parked in New Hampshire, but there’s a large crowd gathered outside my house to support my candidacy for the position of Birthday Girl.

A vote for my birthday is a vote for change!

    Seriously, that crown is sweet. It looks just like the one my boss wears.

    Thanks, Average Jane! I’m a much happier birthday girl when I wear the tiara and sweatpants.

    Hope you had a swell birthday. I still wouldn’t vote for you though. You’d have to show real emotion and shed some tears, then maybe MAYBE I’d reconsider.
