There are pigs flying outside my window. [View All]

[Tsiyu]

I am in complete shock and awe. A Republican is, of course, responsible for both the flying pigs and my state of mind.

We all love those "hell-has-frozen-over-cuz-my-bootlicking-Freeper-buddy-now-hates-**-stories, and here's another one.

I ventured across the mountain to visit a Dem friend last night. Catching up, we began conversing about a seedy Repuke we both know (and mistrust.)
I hadn't seen this gal for ages, since before November '04. Recently we met out in town, however. I wondered how I would deal with her if I ran into her again and it turns out I was cordial and did not discuss **.

"Did you talk to her at all about our president?" my friend asked, seething as he uttered the word "president."

"Hell, no!" I said.You know how she and I have gone around and around about politics."

I decided a long time ago, for the sake of my kids, to avoid discussing politics with this woman. She was the most Repuke, Bush-loving idiot I knew, but our kids liked each other so I dealt with it.

Still, her dad has called me a baby-killer, a wicked liberal, every name you can imagine. These were hardline Repukes, and I say this without a smidge of my customary exaggeration.

My Dem friend just stared off, looking pissed. I assumed he'd gotten into a heated argument with her.

"She still loves him, right?" I asked. "I was afraid to bring the subject up at all, know what I mean?"

"Well, I threw it right out of the box when I saw her, " he said. "She was bitching about the economy and I brought up 'that president you HAD to vote for, that fucker you Republicans just HAD to have in office' and she let loose on Bush. She said she hated that *7$%#^ ^%$&!@ and that he was an embarrassment and that she was sorrier than hell she had voted for him."

"No way," I said. My mouth was hanging open. For a minute I figured this was all an elaborate leadup to a bad joke, because this friend is known for his skill weaving an excellent story only to deliver a corny but amusing punchline.

He assured me her attitude was no joke.

:wow:



There is no way this woman hates bush. Some of you have seen conversions like this, but I've never seen a die-hard Koolaid drinker lose her taste for the beverage.

Like I said, pigs are flying outside my window.
