Happy Veterans Day.

“Hey Arun, can you come in here for a second?”

“What’s up boss?”

“Is your lighting budget sufficient?”

“Um, yeah, sure.”

“Then why the hell does this look like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why’d you light the President like he’s delivering a eulogy?”

“Well, you know, we went with the solemn lighting for this one. Three quarter key, no fill, some backlight to make him look, you know, heavenly. It’s Veteran’s Day, after all.”

“Arun.”

“What?”

“You’re thinking Memorial Day. Veteran’s Day is for the living soldiers. Memorial Day is for the dead ones.”

“… Oh. Shit.”

“And the flowers! You make the White House look like a goddamn mortuary.”

“I just thought-“

“Can you get him on an aircraft carrier or something? For Chrissake, the Pentagon is like ten blocks away. Is really the best you can come up with for a military holiday is flowers?  Even if it was Memorial Day, you’ve got Arlington! The Vietnam Memorial! That hokey World War II thing that ruined the Mall! Come on, man!”

“You’re right. I’m sorry. Should I re-shoot?”

“Ugh. No. Flowers probably work better for this President anyway. But next time, maybe some flowers that look like an F-16 or something.”

M. on why we can’t wait:

I’m in my first semester of my first year of law school, but everyone I know is already telling me that I won’t have a job when I graduate. It’s frustrating and extremely disheartening to try to adjust to this major commitment I’ve made to my education with little or no hope of employment after I graduate with a law degree.

You’re worried about a job? Worry about your Civ Pro final! Graduation is three years away. If the Mayans are right, it won’t even matter! But look: if the apocalypse doesn’t show up, there will always be work for lawyers. You can just sue people! It’s true! Start with those police officers in Oakland. §1983 cases are worth DOLLARS.

The best part of this video is where it shows all the badges Obama won for unlocking achievements.

barackobama: Ashleigh, a member of our field department, packages up cell phones to be sent out to staff in our Ohio offices. Fun fact: we also refer to our field department as 270, for reasons politics nerds will immediately appreciate (and the rest of y’all may end up Googling). 270, according to Google: - The California Penal Code section for child neglect. - Somehow, an abbreviation for Kentucky. - The caliber of a Winchester. So this is either some oblique reference to Daniel Boone’s parenting skills, or it’s the minimum number of electoral votes you need you get elected President. (Aaron Sorkin: Call me.)
