For Everything But...'s January 2021 issue, I designed and lead the publication, while also writing a satire piece. The story in original format can be found here.
I, Ted Cruz, the Senator from Texas, want to point out that we are gathering at a moment of great division that frankly makes my teeth ache. The tooth of the matter is that we are gathering at a time when the world is in crisis. Recent polling shows that 70% of children under 12 believe in the Tooth Fairy. That’s around 18% of Americans. You may not agree with their assessment. But it is nonetheless a reality for nearly half the country. Even if you do not share this conviction, it is the responsibility, I believe, of this office to acknowledge that if that many people believe in this tiny sprite that steals teeth and leaves money, it must be true. [Cruz pauses for the applause and standing ovations via the Republican Party. He basks in it, wondering if this is what it would have felt like if his parents actually attended his baseball games as a child.]
