On the with healthcare.gov, which seem to be caused by the whole thing being broken into many different contracts with not enough communication between them. Shocking, isn't it.

Franz Ferdinand's song "Evil Eye" is unsurprisingly more to my taste than Josh Ritter's song "Evil Eye," but I strongly prefer the Ritter video to the Franz Ferdinand video, not just because the latter is close to unwatchable for me due to the exaggerated gore, but also because I have an infinite preference for the gorgeous 70s hair of the girls in the former over Alex Kapranos's 70s pornstache.

To comment on the actual post, I'm actually quite happy with traditional grilled cheese, thank you very much. (Although the best grilled cheese I ever had was cheddar, American, and... a third cheese, I forget, with pesto and a slice of tomato between the cheese layers, at a little cafe/diner in the Appalachians on the border between Tennessee and North Carolina. Not traditional, but amazingly good.)
