re: #268 laZardo

If I were a SEKRIT FILIPINO PRESIDENT I would:

Rig up a lechon rotisserie to the White House fireplace.
Hang a parol (those blinky Christmas star lanterns) on the window.
Hold mock crucifixions on the White House Lawn for Good Friday.
Keep my rice cooker on 24 hours a day, causing the entire area to be blanketed in a cloud of ominous steam (and prevent nosy photographers.)

/i could keep going

I might vote for you in hopes of getting invited to a dinner. And you’re still registered as a Republican, right?

(I once had a student write an essay for me about what he did over his Christmas break. He wrote, sadly, that he stayed with his grandparents, and had to eat homemade Filipino food, ‘because there was nothing else’.

I told him that my heart bled for him.)
