“There are far more productive ways to advance the conservative agenda.”
But stomping your feet and holding your breath until you turn blue are more personally satisfying and require so much less effort than heavy lifting.

"But stomping your feet and holding your breath until you turn blue are more personally satisfying and require so much less effort than heavy lifting." Touche' tan·trum (tan′trəm) noun a violent, willful outburst of annoyance, rage, etc.; childish fit of bad temper How to Deal With an Adult's Temper Tantrum: http://www.ehow.com/how_2193913_deal-adults-temper-tantrum.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art "Its bad enough when a 3-year-old kicks and screams and turns red in the face when he doesnt get his way. Its even worse when this happens to an adult. An adult throwing a temper tantrum has to be one of the ugliest scenes you can witness, right behind roadkill. You can effectively deal with an adults temper tantrum with a few stepsand a straight face. Instructions: (Difficulty: Moderate) Step 1: Refrain from laughing. No matter how idiotic, silly or downright hilarious a raging adult may appear, laughing will only make it worse. Step 2: Keep calm and keep your distance. Never interfere with a raging adult unless they are coming at you with a stick. Then block the stick. Step 3: Remove yourself from the situation. If you can physically walk away, go for it. If not, mentally envision yourself wafting high above their outburst and watching it unfold below. Step 4: Help pick up the pieces. This step only applies if the person is a coworker or friend of yours. Once the person has calmed down, soothe their nerves and, if you feel they are up to it, even joke about their garish display of emotion.
