Yes, we do take requests on occasion.
Can we please take a break from today's primary to focus on Alexander Camelton? ALEXANDER CAMELTON. Thank you. https://t.co/MLYB5XDmR4

Ignore any headline proclaiming that the Lincoln Park Zoo has named its new baby camel after one of America’s most influential historical figures. Anyone being honest knows that unstoppable Broadway juggernaut “Hamilton” was the inspiration for the name of the Chicago zoo’s latest addition, Alexander Camelton.
I would just like to bring it to everyone's attention that there exists a camel by the name of Alexander Camelton. https://t.co/mj3gDdN6ap

Guys, guys, I know this is clickbait but there's a camel baby named Alexander Camelton in a zoo somewhere and I just can't even.

The little one has been named Alexander Camelton by his caregivers…a nod to the Founding Father and the hit musical!

How better to celebrate #InternationalUngulateDay than with a look at our new Bactrian #camel calf, born May 9? pic.twitter.com/CKZr1awDG0

Lincoln Park Zoo just named their baby camel Alexander Camelton and that's probably the best thing that could possibly happen today.

It was a full year ago this month when Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that a woman would replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. Curiously, after “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda visited the White House for #Bam4Ham day, performed a freestyle rap with President Obama about immigration and Obamacare, and met personally with Lew, it was announced that it was Andrew Jackson who would be getting the boot. Could a Broadway musical seriously have had anything to do with that?

I talked to @USTreasury about this on Monday. Sec. Lew told me "you're going to be very happy." #wegetthejobdone https://t.co/ZkLFuSmz8M

Depending on whether you’re one of … those people who hasn’t yet seen “Hamilton” or at least listened to the soundtrack, your amusement at these plays on the lyrics will vary.

If the Hamilton hype is too much to take, why not relax and kick back with a refreshing Rise Up Rye.
