    I sit down next to a guy on the train.

    ME: Loads of cycle paths around here.

    HIM: Really?

    ME: Loads, mate.

    HIM: How’d you know?

    ME: There’s signs, aren’t there?

    HIM: I guess?

    ME: I love them.

    (47 minutes of awkward silence.)

    When we reach my stop, I get off the train with my bike. As I leave, I notice the guy suddenly looks relieved. As I walk away he looks at me like I was a random crazy psychopath on the train, then it finally hit me.

    There was a great episode of the daily show with Jon recently after the election. Basically his point was the democrats keep doing things because of “norms” or “tradition” while the republicans have completely thrown both out the window to win. It’s time for the democrats to start doing the same. Taking the political high ground for “norms” and “traditions” is causing their constituents to suffer. It’s clear that the norms politicians have followed for the past 250 years are not rule, law or enforceable. The dems need to realize what they are fighting against and step up to the battlefield in which they find themselves, then after regaining power they need to code these previous norms into law with actual consequences for ignoring them.

    Here is the clip: (it’s about 1//2 through, but the whole thing is worth watching)
