When do you know you are too obsessed with politics?
I think I have a pretty good example.

1. When you spend two hours writing a critical analysis and point by point deconstructive argument about the FairTax on the myspace blog of a 22 year old pornstar who just read Neal Boortz's book and supports the Fair Tax Act of 2005.

I rest my case.

And feel free to add your own stories. :)

5. We had hoped to go
We had other things going on in September and couldn't. The only times I've been to Portland were to political events. Yeah, we're pretty pathetic. lol.

6. oh you should see me around "normal" people
My aunt mentioned wanting to eat at Olive Garden one time.

She looked at me like I was an alien when I gave me reason for why I would never go eat there, haha. My uncle kind of understood, he just said: " yeah, I need to start thinking like that." haha.
