Ticking off both parties while at the same time shaming them into action is the triple crown of nonpartisan, post-impeachment politics. But being in the middle isn't necessarily easy. It's like standing on a highway median strip--every time you step into traffic, someone is gunning...
What do you feel when you get whacked? In my case, nothing, and I remember nothing, which seems weirder still but is actually normal.
