It seems that everybody -- your barista, for instance -- has got somethin' to say about the fiscal cliff

Now add this piece of insight, from renowned sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer:

Members of Congress who can't compromise probably aren't good lovers. Sex requires give and take.

I'm rather doubtful that Dr. Ruth's public shaming/reading of fiscal cliff dynamics will change anything on the Hill today. But if America's favorite latte is making it's way into the debate, hey, why not America's favorite sex therapist, too?
