... so you're saying it is what happened?

I used to do an all nighter at least once a month in my 20s with no ill effects unless I tried to do more than one a week. Tried it in my 30s, the recovery was rough.

It was my understanding that him not being allowed was a myth, but he voluntarily withdrew himself as the main drafter because he was concerned his humorous writing style would undermine the solemnity of the document.

Didn't Jefferson draft the DoI over Franklin specifically because of concerns Franklin would slip in dirty jokes?

Yeah, I get that. It's just, there isn't really a revelation here. That's just what memes are: units of cultural expression based on broadly recognizable forms. "A hammer is a weight on a stick you hit things with" isn't really a showerthought, it's just stating the definition of a hammer.

I'm familiar with the term, just trying to figure out an interpretation that isn't just restating the definition of meme.

If you like weissbier, I'd recommend getting a proper hefeweizen glass. Drinking straight from the bottle prevents you from picking up the scents that add complexity to the flavor, and regular glasses aren't ideal for the properties of wheat beers.

Perhaps. Keep in mind that's assuming you could get half of the Democratic caucus to rally behind the same new party. Splintering is counterproductive. Additionally, that's only enough to get an effort off the ground. Current Democratic and Republican votes are roughly equal, neither the remaining half of the Democratic party, nor the half that forms a new party, will have the numbers to keep Republicans in check. You'd have to grow this new party quickly, including peeling off Republican voters. This is not a trivial task.
