A woman in my office was having Trader Joe's masala veggie burgers for lunch the other day - she got practically orgasmic over them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like the TJ's Greek frozen pizza, with kalamata olives and feta, and that couldn't be any easier.

Let's just say it: the Republicans are the Problem: [link]
That's the op-ed in the Washington Post. They blame Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I've been wondering what effect (if any) this will have on our political discourse.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Republicans are the Problem
Thomas E. Mann is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Norman J. Ornstein is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
Wow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Republican party just seems insane to me anymore. Literally, like crazy person ranting.
I don't even understand what the strategic value of attacking birth control is. First of all, how can you be opposed to that? Especially if you're anti-abortion. Second of all, how is that going to win elections?

And who, exactly, is Grover Norquist? and why have almost all the Republicans in Congress signed his pledge to never raise taxes and never close any tax loopholes?

It's all tribalism and resentment, so far as I can tell. It's not "My wife and I used birth control when we first got married, so other people should be allowed to," it's "Those lazy sluts sucking at the public teat want to use MY MONEY to pay for their sex! Stone them!"
Also there's the thing about parents not wanting their kids to behave like they did; so just because Joe and Jill had sex at 16, doesn't meant they want their daughter Jane to. Cognitive dissonance is the order of the day.
Rational discourse went out the door about the time that Ken Starr subpoena'd Monica Lewinsky's blue dress.
