Being a little bit scatterbrained this morning trying to organize my thoughts for the various social-media responses to the Republicans voting to end health coverage today.

It's worse than that, because red & white are actual categories. More like "hints of currant and leather with fish," "herbacious finish and reminiscent of grassy meadow with beef."

“I feel like we should put all discussions about "what should we do" and policy details into the 'we'll agree to disagree' category.
I tried not to voice my opinions in this post for that reason; I'm just expressing the frustration that I experience caused by trying to articulate a little about politics after spending such a long time intentionally not discussing the subject and writing solely about tech instead.”
My view is rather quite jaundiced. You were looking at it from a policy standpoint. I'm looking at it as someone who works in the agency charged with making it work, who gets frustrated heavily with trying to make it work, and was on the receiving end Thursday from a hysterical lady over an ACA mechanics issues that frankly almost got her watchlisted as she came way too close to qualifying for "suicide caller" handling.
There's a reason I keep trying to run away from being a federal civil servant. Above is just one facet as to why.

“Perhaps I'll just change the subject and talk about fonts instead. Here's a starter: the entire notion that "serif" and "sans serif" are the top-level categories of Latin typefaces is a modernist lie brought about by lack of historical awareness with a dash of HTML 1.0 specification sprinkled on top.”
In trying to learn about LaTeX, this font is really calling to me as something I want to style a document in: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/alegreya/
I haven't found anything that replicates old-time federal typing pool typewriter, though. This vision of the past from LANL kinda intrigues me: http://tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb10-4/tb26sydoriak.pdf
