11 Facts About Vermin Supreme
Marc Nozell

If you're an American old enough to vote, you've probably been experiencing a sort of sinking feeling over the past few months —something similar to being at a restaurant and wondering what to get. A restaurant with an extremely short menu and rather nasty food. A restaurant where not ordering isn't even an option. While I can't really help you with this mess, I can at least educate you on another Presidential option: Vermin Supreme! Here all the facts you really wanted to know about our best Presidential candidate.

1. Yes, that is his legal name.

He changed his name to Vermin Love Supreme in the 1990s. Unfortunately, an anonymous harasser has been threatening to reveal Supreme's birth name and personal info. The politician responded with this sassy letter.

2. He is registered as a Republican

But his actual political views are somewhere between Republicanism and Libertarianism.

3. He's a movie producer and actor

A documentary about him was even featured in the Minneapolis-St. Paul film festival in 2014.

4. He was once a nuclear disarmament activist

In 1986, at age 25, he participated in the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament.

5. He's an art school dropout

While many politicians are law school grads, Supreme dropped out of a Baltimore law school and got involved with the city's underground music scene.

6. He wants to fight the United States' "moral and oral decay"

"A country depends on its ability to bite back," he states in a speech with more dentistry-related puns than you'd expect to hear in one place. Supreme's plan includes secret dental police, dental reeducation centers, preventative dental maintenance facilities, and government-issued toothpaste containing a harmless, addictive substance.

7. He admits that "a vote for Vermin Supreme is a vote completely thrown away."

The most honest campaign slogan yet.

8. He promotes a pony-based economy

Additionally, Supreme would provide a free pony for every American in order to create jobs and make the economy less dependent on foreign oil.

9. He is a proponent of a zombie-based energy system

Also to combat our dependance on foreign oil, Supreme promises to find an energy source in what he calls "the awesome power of zombies."

10. He finished fourth in the New Hampshire Primary

NOT BAD.

11. He once delivered his 30-second closing statement in song

I think everyone has secretly wanted to do this, but Supreme boldly ended his remarks at a presidential forum to the tune of the Chicken Dance.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
