NY Daily News calls the House of Representatives the "House of Turds"
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
This Affordable Care Act battle/government shutdown has been well-reported and the finger pointing is now well underway. Rather than contribute to the stream, we're just reprinting the Daily News' cogent front cover from this morning.

The Sphinx and Pyramids in flux
Jack Brummet, Travel Ed.
The Sphinx in 1890, and recently, from the nearby Pizza Hut. You can no longer actually climb or even touch touch The Sphinx, but you can climb around some of the pyramids. Most photos show these monuments in a vast desert, but they are actually on the outskirts of Cairo and Giza, in easy walking distance.

RomCom aversion aside, you should go see James Gandolfini and Julia Louise-Dreyfuss's "Enough Said"
By Mona Goldwater, Film Ed.
I am not a fan of the Rom Com, but "Enough Said" is an exception. So sweet to see James Gandolfini on the big screen one last time. The script was great, the story bittersweet, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener, and Gandolfini all delivered amazing performances.
