It’s much harder to make them care Picture Quote #1

The reason that last-ditch political maneuvering has become business as usual in Washington is that the actors involved are drunk on blame and are convinced that the voting public is, too. They count on outrage, thereby spreading numbness. They cherish the prospect of partisan fury, thereby inspiring nonpartisan disgust Picture Quote #1

According to my mother, there pretty much wasn’t anything I wouldn’t eat as a child. Not just try, but eat.
