I think that, if there is a God, he doesn’t care when people draw cartoons of him. Or her.
I think that when the phone in the White House rings at 3am, the person who answers it should be someone who didn’t resort to lame scare tactics.
I think that, when the constitution was written, no one realized that someday there’d be guns that fit in a pocket and can take out a room of kids.
I think that people call her “Hillary” because that’s what her signs say, not because they’re sexist.
I think that, this April 1st, I wanted to say a few sincere things.

Tie Them Right
Tip: Double-knot your shoes
I see people stopping on the street to re-tie their shoes all the time. Not once in the last 15 years have I had to re-tie my shoes. The secret is a simple double-knot. It takes only a moment more and saves you time in the long run.
There are two ways to tie a knot in a shoelace. One is a square knot and the other isn’t. When you are done, if the loops (the “bow”) goes across your foot, you’ve tied a square knot. If the loops want to lay perpendicular to your laces, then you’ve tied a so-called “granny knot.” The square knot will stay tied all day long, the granny knot won’t. So instead of tying two knots, you could tie one good one.
