As described by Melissa Harris-Perry.

First, a banana. Because the actions of our current Congress are bananas. So... a banana.  Add strawberries -- red for the Republicans, And blueberries for the Democrats.

Add some ice for cool nerves to ignore the corporate spending and ideological extremism by special interests.

Add a little sparkling water to keep interparty cooperation bubbling

And last but not least, a teaspoon of milled flaxseed to get all this moving through the system.

Force bipartisanship with a thorough blending. 

Submit these ingredients to as much forced cooperation as necessary to create a smooth and appealing outcome.
