I had to ask my son if he had ever heard of Between Two Ferns. He had (he is 21). Then I asked him which channel or network airs the show. He laughed at me because today, anything on the Internet that lasts more than 3 minutes and is put out regularly is now considered a show. He then referred me to Drunk History. I watched the episode with Will Farrell as President Lincoln, Don Cheedle as Frederick Douglas and Zoey Deschanel as Mary Todd Lincoln. I admit that I have now official entered old age. I am not hip. I didn't find it funny and I don't watch much on TV or the Internet. My wife reinforces this revelation occasionally by pointing out some hipster, 30 something walking down the street wearing a pork pie hat or cuffed jeans, drinking a PBR, etc... When I do anything remotely similar or wear anything that is considered hipster fashion, it apparently doesn't make me hip. It just makes me look like an old man.
Since I didn't vote for President Obama, what he does on Internet shows that I don't watch (and had never heard of) really doesn't make much difference to me. The next election can't get here soon enough for me. I hope we keep the legislature and Presidency split so nothing gets done in DC. The federal government has done quite enough already IMO and most of it has been bad.
