Why Everyone In The 2016 Presidential Race Looks Like A Duck Or A Turtle
Meaghan Annett

The presidential race for this November is heating up. With all of the debates happening on TV and news articles about the candidates, it can be hard to tell who to vote for. You can look on their website and read their policy positions, but at the end of the day, it's hard to tell who is telling you the truth.

The media always likes to categorize politics in terms of conflicting groups. Are you voting for a Democrat or a Republican? A conservative or a progressive? A Washington outsider or a Washington insider?

However, all these news sites are missing the point. The real question is are you voting for a duck or a turtle?

All people look like ducks or turtles

When I was a younger, I heard commentators on the radio talk about how all people look like ducks or turtles. If you are with a group of people right now, look at their faces and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a fact of life.

Is a duck or turtle better?

That is really up to you to decide. Here is a definitive list of the presidential candidates still in the race to help you make that tough decision.


1. Hillary Clinton

Gotcha catch all the votes!


2. Donald Trump

He tries to tell us he's not a quack...


3. Bernie Sanders

Potentially coming in 2016, "Franklin Goes to the White House"


4. Ted Cruz

Sea turtle is not amused.


5. Marco Rubio

Aka master of the duck face


6. John Kasich

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

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.

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.
