I DID NOT ATTEND THIS WEDDING,

BUT SENT A GIFT.

I TOLD HER WHERE I WAS.

I TAUGHT HER BROTHERS TAYLOR & JED.

HER DAD WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AHEAD

OF ME IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Spoke at the DNC

Senator Bernie Sanders

A little side note.

The presidential elections and both the

Winter and Summer Olympics

were all held in the same year.

There were Winter Olympics in 1992, 

and 2 years later in 1994.

So now, every other year are Olympics.

Much better!

No matter who wins this election,

they will be waaaaay better as president

than the one we'll have in 2020!

That's right!

Kanye West has already announced

he'll run for president in 2020!!!

The American people are stupid enough

to vote him in!

His current wife is Kim Kardashian!

Imagine, "Kourtney and Kim Take The White House"

and

"Keeping Up With The Kardashians . . . DC Style!"

I sure wish my candidate, Dr. Ben Carson, had won!!!
