I know the official blog has ended, but I had to share this with you.

I saw this picture online and had no choice but to little face it.

Hello, gang. This is Reuben Glaser one last time.

As we all know, Mitt lost and Barry won, and whether you like it or not (I personally do), we can all now return to our regularly scheduled lives for the next three years.

Likewise, whether you like it or not, Little Face Mitt has descended into complete irrelevancy in one night flat. While I find myself in kind of totally at a loss and in a state of flux without pictures of Romney’s face to shrink, this is good and this is what I had hoped would happen all along. This gives it a graceful exit. While many of you have told me to continue with LFM, I ask how the heck I could even manage to do that if I tried. I see no reason and no need, and therefore I won’t because it’s good as it is. Today is the last day of Little Face Mitt, at least for me.

But before I part ways, I would just like to take one last moment to personally thank you all for what you’ve managed to make Little Face Mitt into. You all took one of the stupidest things ever created and turned it into an actual aspect of this election. Some are calling this the first real social media election, even more so than in 2008, and no matter how you shake the stick, LFM was a very real part of that. There were many, many parts of it in the realm of memes, but LFM sat firmly amongst them and I hope will be positioned next to the Binders Full of Women facebook page on this shelf in history. While I don’t expect there to be a Little Face Mitt chapter in future textbooks of course, I just take a good deal of pride that such an absurd thing managed to reach so many of you and in some way got people involved. As you can all tell by now, I am a very strong proponent of getting involved, even if it is in a weird way like Little Face Mitt. I am an even stronger proponent of satire and specifically media manipulation because the media really is one of the roots of much of our problems, and the fact that we managed to make Little Face Mitt into something mentioned and analyzed on cable news networks and online and print media publications sounds like a resounding win for “satire” and a flub for “the media.” Satire is what makes me most happy and it’s through satire that I can make myself most useful. Even if it took half of a decade of talking to the walls on twitter and youtube, I am forever grateful that the internet seemed to finally understand a joke of mine. I am glad you all got Little Face Mitt. All of you did. And it’s been the most fun I’ve ever had.

My name is Reuben Glaser – not “Little Face Mitt” – and I am a comedian and activist and satirist or whatever you’d like to call me. The articles seem to have referred to me most as a “humorist,” which I quite like. And to reiterate, the time has come that I will retire Little Face Mitt and it will be relegated to the footlocker of memedom forever, but if you’d like to follow me personally on to whatever I do next, you can find me on twitter as “Reubnick,” or send me emails at ReubenGlaser@gmail.com anytime you’d like. Little Face Mitt has run its course, but I’m certainly not done with my spoofs and goofs, because I just can’t stop. Some of you may know that just this year I also ran a candidate for office without his knowledge and made it all the way to the national news cycle (and almost got arrested for coercion, voter fraud and campaign finance violations). I like messing with the media and messing with politicians who mess around. In fact, I love it. It might be my favorite thing in the world. Little Face Mitt is not a swan song for me. Maybe I’ll try to get a job at The Onion now or befriend Stephen Colbert. I get bored without lofty goals. I guess all I’m saying is that Chuck Grassley better sleep with one eye open.

I’ve been getting very kind messages on and off since last night with a sense of closure, and I appreciate them all. Being the humble man that I am, if you wish to thank me I will accept you sending TIME Magazine a barrage of emails begging them to put me in the TIME 100, making a Wikipedia page about me that refers to me as “ruggedly handsome” or sending me loose $50 bills in the mail. No, I’m just kidding. If anybody should be thanking anybody, it should be me to you. Thank you for doing what you’ve all done with Little Face Mitt. I’ve had such fun with it. I am grateful, and I love you all.

And if you don’t care about me at all and are just interested in Little Face Mitt, I hope you’ve enjoyed them thoroughly. The archives will exist eternally for your pleasure.

As I bid you adieu, I look back at the past three months with a smile and look forward for the next for years with one too. Thanks for the good times!

In Solidarity,
-Reuben Glaser

PS. Actually totally not kidding about the TIME 100 and the Wikipedia page. But keep your $50s.

The election is tomorrow, and the majority of Americans are still unaware of what could very well be the deciding factor in this race. Use this opportunity to make a final push and get the word out about “The Little Face problem.”

Hello gang, this is Reuben Glaser – you know, the creator of Little Face Mitt. I’ve been asked almost daily for the past three months who I support (as if it is something that matters), and if LFM is pro-Romney or pro-Obama. As things all come to a close as far as I’m concerned and the Little Face Mitt meme enjoys it’s very last golden dusk on this, the last Friday of the election, I feel a certain sense of duty to tell you who I do in fact support and who I think you should vote for. While I know Little Face Mitt was far from the most august contribution to the direction of this election, as stupid as it may be it still invariably had some semblance of influence and a few of you seemed then and still do seem curious as to my own motivations. That was the most fun for me, actually, to see the journalists and reporters flounder around trying to interpret the meaning of LFM. While I purposefully intended to leave it all wide open for anybody to get anything they wanted out of it, I still have my own reasons for starting it in the first place.

Of course, I do realize that most of you don’t come here for politics or endorsements of any kind and just enjoy the zany pictures, so if you are one of those people, just stop reading this right now and go back to enjoying the LFM archives. And some of you may think I am a bigmouth opportunist who is exploiting a platform he built for doing this. But if one has a voice and people will listen when they use it, they ought to make sure it is heard. This is especially true when matters are as important as this election. I never thought I’d be in a position where my opinion would have any relevance (and maybe it actually doesn’t), but given the assumed inkling that it does, I intend to utilize this opportunity. And I have nearly 13,000 of you. I hope I can get through to at least one of you. But if you don’t agree, then you should see yourself out because I am going to roll out my endorsement in the next sentence.

I support Barack Obama, and you should vote for him.

But even if you disagree with me on that, you should vote for whoever you want to vote for. I’m not against Third Party Candidates if you believe in them either. In fact, the first vote I ever cast was in a grade-school mock election for president. I voted Ralph Nader. I was the only person in the entire school to do so. He tied with “Beef Wellington” and “The Moon,” both apparently write-in candidates. But people talked about it for weeks after they read it over the loudspeaker. So you should vote for Gary Johnson if you support him, or Jill Stein if you support her, or Rocky Anderson or Vermin Supreme, or even, although I fundamentally disagree with you, Mitt Romney if you support Mitt Romney. At all costs, through Hell and high water, you should vote. You should ALWAYS get out there and vote. It is one of our most important privileges, and nobody should ever squander it. And no matter who you vote for, there is no such thing as a wasted vote. The only wasted vote is if you just don’t vote. So you should vote. You should absolutely, always vote.

I think you should vote for Barack Obama, though.

Anyway, enough of that. I’ve spoken my two cents and I hope it may be heeded. Thanks for the time it took you to read this.

Now VOTE ON TUESDAY, Goddammit!

With love,

-Normal Faced Reuben Glaser

OK, lots of “fun” news about Romney imploding in various ways and Obama polling better, but that isn’t why Obama will win. He’ll win because MORE PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM. The way you personally can ensure this happens is by using this tool: call.barackobama.com.
