Senior Linux will still be here when you return (hopefully). But with politics getting hot and heavy, how about an old-fashioned argument.

After all, some of the hottest arguments erupt after a sleepless night; a night - if you will - of Midnight Mulling!

The founders of the United States agreed: Political Parties are Bad. That's why some of the founders founded such gnarly parties. It was a defensive move. And had the opposition simply been - nicer - why, we would still be calling these, "The Era of Good Feelings." And school children would have less to remember - or would that be more to remember?

"Good Feelings" could be a slogan, a chapter, a question on a test; but who in the world came up with that particular wording?

"I bet it was Communist Martyrs High School Debate Team $23.99!"

(Machine Wash Cold)

Maybe, but still, 'Good feelings?'

Fortunately political parties have a role. For one, to get rid of "The Era of Good Feelings." But "The Era of Good Feelings" didn't disappear! Instead, it gained power as The United States Senate.

So "The Era of Good Feelings" sounds good, right? Like Senator Sanders. Like Senator Warren. Or Senator ... Well, I'm sure there are some others. Right?

Eh.

So let's consider some replacements for "The Era of Good Feelings."

Here's one: "The Era of Pooped Out Whatevers."

And look, there's Lucy! And the football!! And pom-poms!!!

Rah.
