EXCLUSIVE Carlos Danger campaign poster concept for Anthony Weiner

New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner’s poll numbers have taken a dive since the most recent sexting scandal with Sydney Leathers broke a couple weeks ago, landing him in fourth place. I’m no expert at running a political campaign or anything (although I did watch every season of The West Wing and feel I am in touch with my inner Josh Lyman), but I think it’s time Anthony Weiner stopped fighting against the current and swim with it instead! I suggest he embrace the latest scandal and his Adventure Comics alter ego and officially run as… CARLOS DANGER!

How much money does the royal family make? Where does it come from? What do they do?

For Americans the British Royal Family is fun. We get caught up in the romance of it. We don’t have people with official titles straight from fairytales like “King” or “Princess” or “Duke” around here, and we’re not always sure what exactly they do, or how they make the money that keeps them uber rich and luxuriating in a lavish royal lifestyle. They never seem to have real jobs, and making impeccable and gracious public appearances seems to be the only thing they do. People make jokes about them being a drain on the British taxpayers, but are they really?

Just how rich is the Royal Family? Where their money comes from? What do they actually do?
