Dirty Dems
To those of you who are standing up to this human infestation of moral rodents, the Bush gang, I salute you.
That’s from a forwarded lefty email by a pretty angry lady. There’s too much ‘ennui’ among the democrats. If they could just get a little more emotional — or scheming, rather than emotional — maybe something would happen. Democrats are like that brooding kid in high school who never cut his hair and only carried a single pencil to class and would sit in the middle row, drawing three-dimensional octagons with shadows. You run into the kid ten years later and are surprised to see he’s got on a collared shirt and is working as a mid-level programmer in some corporate office, the kind with $1500 single-cup-of-coffee machines in the kitchen, although he still wears Docs and hasn’t shaved for at least four days. He’s had the same girlfriend for eight years, she still works at the video store, and they’re never getting married. But they have two cats, and on weekends they make waffles. When they argue, he stops talking and “goes for a walk”, and then she writes him a letter summarizing her feelings, and then he responds to the letter with his own letter after an evening of silence, and then the next day he calls her at work and says, “Are we cool?”
“Yeah, we’re cool,” she says.
That’s what Democrats are like.
