Or a couple of whiskers.

People would rather spent their time creating reasons to blame Democrats and be mad at them for not coming to their house to personally tuck them into beddy-boo with their favorite blankie and ... OMG! this cocoa isn't hot enough! -- centrists used the big marshmallows, not the mini ones I like, this cocoa is going in the wrong direction I demand change from the status quo *weeps loudly until mommy comes and scolds the mean old Democrats for ignoring the weeping class and being corporatists beholden to Big Marshmallow and not the mini ones we like*.
