....speaks to me as someone who's too into politics to be "nice". Government shutdown is the term that is used in my office and should be used everywhere. I've heard no one label it a "White House" shutdown. There is only one motivation behind that comment. If you can think of another....let's hear it. I'll be fascinated.

Beyond that, "nice" goes beyond making sure someone gets the last piece of cake at the office Christmas party, or making sure a sick co-worker gets flowers. When people wage war on the poor by supporting the Republicans, The Tea Party and FAUX News, they lose the brownie points. Politics has become a clear sign of one's character and morality.
