Replacing Hamilton sometime before 2020. ♪Aw, Honey, Honey. You are my candy girl and you got me wanting you.
Who uses that stuff anymore anyway? It's gross. Honestly, you put it in your wallet and invite all sorts of pathogens and drugs right there on the bills. I hate touching it. Unless it's brand new, then I like touching it. They should come with their own package of Handiwipes. This phobia started recently. I handed cash to a bum at Arby's imagining he's hungry but knowing bums he's probably thirsty and he took it with the filthiest hands I've ever seen. This was world-class filth. New York level of layered filth and in that moment this circular thing happened that showed him buying a sandwich and the cash going into the register and back into my hands as change. Or some previous filthy-hands bum's change. Then doubly abashed upon looking at my own ticket and realizing that wasn't enough. Not enough for a sandwich but still doubtful about that.
That's after he washed his hands. I couldn't find a picture dirty enough.
The tweet is premature. They were supposed to keep a lid on it until Thursday but somebody blew it such is the state of information handling within departments of the United States government.
A reminder our Office of Personnel Management has been hacked and so have Congressional aids. The hack goes a far as root files.
But what's important to us is who will it be? Don't keep us hanging. Not fair to keep us on tenterhooks like this. Who will it be, Rachel Dolezal or Bruce Jenner?

I suggest Sasquatch, the Lewis and Clark guide.
Ameria Earhart, the John Denver of aviation would be another good choice.
Seems to me that if the dollar is to continue as The World's Reserve Currency (which has advantages for the US), we'd do well to keep it looking stodgy, old-fashioned and reassuring.
Oh, well. Pretty soon, I suppose, our currency will look like everyone else's: covered with grain fields, combine harvesters, and portraits of poets and scientists that no one has heard of.
Sushi and Malaria.
Or Marilyn Monroe. She was the greatest woman of the 20th century, wasn't she?
Of course, depending on who wins in next year, this may all be so much Ritmo commentary.
You guys are cracking me up tonight.
James Petathoukis suggested we put a real Ten, Bo Derek, on it. I second that idea.
Rachel Dolezal. Wait, she should be on a $3 bill.
rhhardin, you crack me up with the Sasquatch joke...
but don't be dissing Sacagawea, that is a macroagression for me!
BTW What did Alexander Hamilton do to deserve getting bumped from the 10, get shot?
The guy was a bastard who hated the Frawgs.
What's not to love?

So you want Hillary.
You may laugh at the prospects, but you know damned well it will probably be an insult to all reasonable people.
I think a nice kitten photo would best represent the zeitgeist without offending anyone.
Ameria Earhart for her looks.
Should she make it on the bill, wouldn't they be giving her up for dead?
Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart.
Rachel Donelson.
That's a trick question, right? Hamilton is singularly instrumental for the financial system we have today. He designed the early financial system for the beginning United States. He designed the method for Washington to finance the war. His recommendations led to establishing the Treasury Department. If anybody belongs on currency it's Hamilton.
So isn't there a celebrity Hamilton we can use to update? George Hamilton. Christine Hamilton. Bethany Hamilton the surfer who lost an arm. Google says Michael Kors Hamilton. And another Christine Hamilton celebrity chef.
*Looks up Rachel Donelson*
How about Lady Liberty?

Or a celebrity Alexander?
Like Alexander Franklin James, Jesse's brother?
It has to be someone dead, so, why not Farrah Fawcett? A true 10.
Hamilton in drag is a reasonable compromise.
Or Lassie to show we have moved beyond paternalistic speciesism.
I'm sorry kids, but yes, Lassie is dead.
Most of the people on the money now look like old women. Not Lincoln, who probably could not be convincing in drag even using CGI.
Rachel Donelson
Dude, the revenant corpse of Andrew Jackson is going to show up on your front doorstep and beat you cross-eyed. Well, maybe not, at least you didn't call her Rachel Robards...
Well, once you feminize your money, then it's all down hill. I mean look at what happened with the Susan B. Anthony and Sock-A-Jew-AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! dollar. All fail.
