Come on. It's the LEFT. It's all about the LEFT. ROFL

I get more amusement out of SI then I really should. It ought to be sad, but after all these years I have to say it's just become funny. The harassment and the attacks, of course, are still rather vile- but the lack of perspective people have, and their failure to realize why people don't want to be around them, is just funny. Do these folks not have social lives?

I was out with a very fine friend today, who is right- not far right, but right. I never talk politics with her- no point in chapping her hide. Today she brought up Bush and TRASHED him. I couldn't believe it. I nearly spit out my chanterelle mushroom ravioli in brown butter sauce (delicious, btw). Anyway, it's a funny old world. I still wouldn't talk politics with her wrt myself, but I'm more than willing to nod about hers :-) I don't know how much of a sea change she has undergone, but today was VERY rich and strange.
