Ingredients

1 Disaffected former White House Press Secretary
1 Unpopular, lame duck president
4 Months to go until the next presidential election
2 Houses of Congress up for grabs and more likely than ever to go Democratic
1Strong dose of Texas Bullcacky
1 Publisher eager for profits
2 cups water from Washington, D.C. swamp
News media to taste
Seeds of discontent
Scant pinch of reality and credibility (optional; substitute horsepucky if reality and credibility are unavailable)

Place disaffected former White House Press Secretary on back burner and let sit for three years until well fermented. Pre-heat American electorate to boiling point of frustration. Mix dry ingredients together. Add swamp water, removing as many brown solids as possible.

Mix together all dry ingedients except Press Secretary. Add swamp water, a little at a time, being careful not to inhale putrid fumes. Beat on high speed, into a frenzied froth, and until mixture peaks. Add Press Secretary, stirring just enough to release hot air. Turn whole mess into sheeyat pan, and spread evenly. Sprinkle seeds of discontent liberally on top and place in glare of media spotlight, until barely half-baked.

Freeze until ice cold. Cut into very, very small pieces with a Texas chainsaw.

A little goes a long way. In large portions may cause choking and in extreme cases, nausea. Serves entire US population.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
