Make America Zany Again!
#I'mWithThem
Alright, folks - the day is here. The dreaded day: America is about to get a new President and people are heated on both sides. Both major candidates are polarizing figures, leaving many voters having to choose the "lesser of two evils".
I'm planning on leaving serious political discussions out of this arena, but I will say this - PLEASE go out and vote if you're able to. This is such an important election for many reasons.

Where Would the United States be Without the Marx Brothers?

The Marx Brothers began, at least in their film years, as a team of four: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo. Groucho is the most famous of the brothers: the wisecracking, fast-talking wit. Harpo is by far the most adorable: a mute and a precious cinnamon roll. Chico is the silly, often-incompetent Italian: he makes amazing puns and plays the piano like a true champ. Zeppo is the straight man: the "serious" one.
They began their film careers in the 1929 talkie comedy The Cocoanuts, which incorporated musical numbers into its wacky, fun, and sort-of-clunky plot.
They would go on to be masters of comedy in the 1930s with such films as Duck Soup (1933) and A Night at the Opera (1935).
Should the Marx Brothers be regarded simply as comedy legends? Why can't they run - all four of them - for President(s) of the United States? Disregarding the fact that they are no longer with us, let's think about this.
Here's why I'm endorsing a #Marx2016 Presidency:

Here's why I'm endorsing a #Marx2016 Presidency:
They have the ability to bring us together in a way that few have ever done.
They know how to play. And win. At all stakes. Er, steaks. (And french-fried potatoes.)
They can ward off enemies by simply playing musical instruments. Plus, they can put tears in your eyes and a smile on your face.
The quality speeches. The unpredictability. The sheer madness.
Face it, ladies, and gentlemen: We need Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and even Zeppo. In this time of political unrest, a new wave of Marxism is needed. Forget Karl! Out with the old, in with the new.
Hooray for Captain Spaulding!
