The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner – aka the Al Smith Dinner – is an annual white tie fundraiser for Catholic charities supporting children. Hosted in New York City, the presidential candidates are also invited ever election year and they get to sit almost next to each other, with just the cardinal sitting between them. It’s kind of like the White House Correspondents Dinner with all of the jokes though, because Hillary and Trump were spitting straight fire at each other last week. Not all of the jokes were good…but here are some of the highlights from the night:

Some of Trump's best jokes:

“Michelle Obama gives a speech and everyone loves it, it’s fantastic. They think she’s absolutely great. My wife Melania gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case, and I don’t get it, I don’t know why!”

“This is the first time ever, ever, that Hillary is sitting down and speaking to major corporate leaders and not getting paid for it.”

“Just before taking the dais, Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said, 'Pardon me,' And I very politely replied, 'Let me talk to you about that after I get into office.'"

“Listening to Hillary rattle on, and on, and on, I don’t think so badly of Rosie O’Donnell anymore. In fact, I am actually starting to like Rosie a lot.”

"The Cardinal and I, we both have impressive buildings on Fifth Avenue. His is much more impressive than mine. I built mine with my own beautifully formed hands, while his was built with the hands of God. And nobody can compete with God.”

“The truth is I’m actually a modest person, very modest. It’s true, in fact many people tell me that modesty is perhaps my best quality – even better than my temperament.”

And some of Hillary's:

“Donald looks at the statue of liberty and sees a four… maybe a five if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.”

“But Donald really is as healthy as a horse, you know, the one Vladimir Putin rides around on.”

“The cardinal is saying I’m not eligible for sainthood, but getting through these three debates with Donald has to count as a miracle, so I guess I’m up against the highest, hardest, stained glass ceiling.”

“This is such a special event that I took a break from my rigorous nap schedule to be here.”

“And because this is a friendly dinner for such a great cause, Donald, if at any time you don’t like what I’m saying, feel free to stand up and shout ‘Wrong!’ while I’m talking."

“And, Donald, after listening to your speech, I will also enjoy listening to Mike Pence deny that you ever gave it."

“People say… I’m boring compared to Donald. But I’m not boring at all. In fact, I’m the life of every party I attend. And I’ve been to three!”

“Let’s come together, remember what unites us, and just rip on Ted Cruz”

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
