This is Kathleen calling from Philadelphia.
I am working on a Death Star pinata for my kid's birthday party this weekend.
It's going to be super hard to crack open, but it'll have one tiny weak spot on it.
Oh my God.

Things may have changed by the time you hear this.
Okay, here's the show.
Is this a Star Wars?
Trek wars, not Trek Wars.
And I will.
This is a level of dedication that is impressive.
The one time I had a Star wars birthday party for my son, I got ponies and then put up a sign that said they were tauntauns.
Nice kids could get a tauntaun ride.
That's so much creativity.
Props to anybody that makes something instead of buying it at the party store.
Hey there.
It's the NPR Politics podcast.
I'm Sarah McCammon.
