By now you’ve probably realized that we here at the Jane Dough have a ton of feels about prom. We’ve investigated why prom expenses have skyrocketed, we’ve reflected on our own prom anxieties, and we’ve even tried to figure out just what in the hell prom is meant to signify (femininity? tradition? social stratum? we still don’t know!), but, at the end of the day, prom is just one incredibly potent night of sentimentality, ceremony, and gangly teens in grown-up dresses, sweating, smiling, and trying to figure out what is making their backs itch.

In today’s #watwc, it’s Justin Bieber’s birthday! In celebration, enlist your own legion of preteen girls and have them attack everyone you associate with who isn’t them! Elsewhere: the truth about Taco Bell, Obama’s “Jedi mind-meld,” and more!

One of the more interesting proposals that President Obama laid out in his State of the Union address was an argument to increase the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour and index it to inflation.

Sure, we think ensuring that the government doesn’t enter an economy-destroying default is important and all, but if we had our hands on a trillion-dollar coin, we would turn into regular ol’ Scrooge McDucks: polishing the coin, biting on the coin, getting the coin changed into $1 coins and diving in and out of the resulting money piles. On the off-chance that you happen to come across a trillion-dollar coin, perhaps in your coin binder between New Hampshire’s and Virginia’s state quarters, we have come up with a few options for how to spend your money.

Anne Hathaway continues to receive praise for her performance in “Les Miserable,” but the acting feedback she’s most excited about comes from none other than President Barack Obama, who she endorsed last year.

We have something in common with Sarah Palin: after we admitted yesterday that we had been rooting for someone other than President Obama to be TIME Magazine’s “Person of the Year”, the former Alaskan governor took to Fox News to bash Obama’s selection herself.

In today’s EOD roundup, try looking through these “adorable and heartbreaking” photos of President Obama from 2012 and not getting filled with warm-and-fuzzies. It’s scientifically impossible.

To those of you who haven’t voted yet: there’s still time! I don’t need to remind you to educate yourself on each candidate’s policies, though. With all the information circulating around the Internet, it can be easy to forget what the contenders have promised, so we’ve put together a basic overview of President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney’s stances on specific issues. Be sure to read all of it before you turn in your ballot.

I’ll give you a hint: it’s not Election Day.
