Sunday, July 25, 2004 Consider this:
What if the secret to comedy is actually swearing?
Consider this as well:
Last year when I was working at the awful call center, little old ladies and good ol' boys--from conservative phone lists in the reddest red counties of the red, red states--were telling me to go eff myself when I called doing polls that mentioned Bush by name. They were all upset because young American guys were getting maimed in Iraq and they couldn't figure out why (many of them specified this).
They were also upset because they were receiving unsolicited phone calls.
Today my parents and I took a long car ride through some slow traffic. We talked about politics, and no one got mad at anyone else, or secretly thought anyone else was crazy. This fall, everybody's voting, and (this is key) everybody's voting the same way. No screwing around with third parties this year. No abstaining because one is old and cranky or 2 progressive 4 the electoral process. It is so wild.
