You have to break some eggs to make an omelette

Political processes are inherently messy, and although it's pretty messy for us right now, I believe that it's going work out for the best and bring us all closer together in the end.

The people who thought they were hurting us may have just given us the tools to enhance our own unity. Strength of purpose to keep Trump out of the Oval Office will definitely take precedence over everything else, in the aftermath of today.

I'm really looking for our overall message of positivity taking center stage this week in Philly.

And for the record, I love omelettes, they're delicious.

It's a disappointing day when Julian Assange trolls the internal politics of my party, and people allow him to call the shots.

And there's a proper way to break eggs as to avoid having those eggs shatter into small pieces and get messy in your bowl.

Having respect for and utilizing the proper food preparing techniques is the difference between a mediocre omelet and a great omelette. Lots of people don't care for the mediocre omelettes and then there's others that will eat anything.

although it predates his bloody reign by around 150 years, but still refers to the frequent necessity of ruthless murder, especially mass murder, to achieve political objectives.

Might want to pick a different metaphor.

I doubt that most other people will make that same association.

But I think DWS is bad for the brand, and furthermore the author of the bigoted email against Atheists needs to resign.
