P.S. Thanks for all the concerned e-mails, but indeed, all of yesterday's post was an April Fool's spoof. Mark Geary is not being deported. TJ Miller is not going to join The View. Charna Halpern did not save iO students from the Chicago Police Department, and so on. Although we personally might hang out at Second City more if we could shoot Jäger out of the bellybutton of a hot waiter.

"We realize that it's sometimes difficult for the common man to understand the goings-ons in the political landscape. So in the interest of education, we sought to strip down the messages of the Hillary Clinton campaign into short parables, just like how the Bible does it. Thanks very much to Schadenfreude for volunteering to help spread this important political information."
