Earlier this morning, a man who turned his brief professional relationship with Barak Obama into semi-successful political podcast career announced he would be stepping down as director of IOP. He assured three zealous undergrad interns that this change did not spell the end of his time at IOP. As put by his secretary, \u201cHe is moving from a corner office to a slightly smaller office eleven months from now. I cannot stress enough that it is not that deep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the interest of a smooth transition out of power, I am reducing my weekly time by 45 minutes every year. I anticipate I will be fully retired in 2037. It\u2019s quite sad, but I need to make room for the next generation of political podcasters,\u201d said a forlorn-looking Axelrod, standing outside of his office with a cardboard box containing a stapler and an Obama bobblehead.<\/p>\n
When asked about the impending change, third-year political science major Marcella Chu commented, \u201cHe is going to squeeze out every drop of attention from his histrionics. He has been cleaning out his office one paperclip at a time and telling unsuspecting passerbys to not cry. It\u2019s almost camp. Susan Sontag would be proud, I think. \u201d<\/p>\n
Axelrod confessed, \u201cI was kind of hoping someone would throw themselves at my feet and beg me to stay as director of IOP. I\u2019ve thrown three semi-retirement parties with pizza and everything. No dice. Maybe I need to upgrade the catering and have my secretary put up streamers at the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n
