So we're back from Mexico. We failed to get pictures of us swimming with dolphins, ate one of the best meals of our lives, and almost got in a fist fight with a TSA agent. Just your typical spring break... A little background: Tenzin, my husband, and I made the monumentally bad decision to purchase [...]

Let's just get something straight right off the bat. The following criticism in no way changes how I feel about the state and actions of the current Republican party.
