Washington is working just fine. It's us that's broken.
In the last 30 or so years, Americans have lived as if there is no tomorrow. They have racked up personal debt, spending more than they save and borrowing heavily. Americans have become fatter: between 1960 and 2002, the average adult male in the United States put on 25 pounds, and the average woman gained 24; between 1998 and 2006, the percentage of obese Americans in-creased by 37 percent. Some attribute these gains to factors beyond individual control, but who can deny that self-restraint and self-denial are antiquated values? (In the college hookup culture, the ethos is to have sex first and only then, maybe, get to know the other person.) It’s not just in Lake Wobegon, where all children are above average. Grade inflation is so out of control in the nation’s high schools that 43 percent of college-bound seniors taking the SATs have A averages—even though SAT scores have remained flat or drifted slowly downward for years.

Get your head out of the gutter,. This is work safe and informative.
I wish I lived in a bizarro world where Lady GaGa is replaced by Frédéric Chopin, television is replaced by the Globe Theatre, men still wear ties to the airport and McDonald’s is replaced by Auguste Escoffier’s restaurant at The Ritz Hotel in 1919.
Oh yeah, and dinosaurs are still around and they love Earl Grey tea and talking about Nabokov.
Like, Python
#!usr/bin/python
uh from sys import exit
# Grab the user's name.
ok so like name = raw_input("yo! what's your name?" ) right
# Make sure they entered something, then say hi.
if name.strip() is actually like "":
toootally just exit()
else:
um yeah
print like "Hi %s, nice to meet you." % name
Shit - Wikipedia link of the day
The expression no shit? (a contraction of no bullshit?) is used in response to a statement that is extraordinary or hard to believe. Alternatively the maker of the hard-to-believe statement may add no shit to reinforce the sincerity or truthfulness of their statement, particularly in response to someone expressing disbelief at their statement. No shit is also used sarcastically in response to a statement of the obvious, as in no shit, Sherlock.
No shit, Sherlock.
Furthermore, “This article is about the word “shit”. For the waste product, see feces. For the egestion of bodily wastes, see defecation.”
