As if the bullshit here isn’t enough, a very old friend, and a very dear friend of mine mails me out of the blue today, the missive being in whole a forwarded piece of glurge entitled “forward this to ten people or we could have another republican president”. What followed was a list of the kind of kool-ade drinking liberal party line bullshit that makes me boil.

I responded “this kind of hatefulness and meanness of spirit makes me wonder why anyone would be a democrat”.

She wrote back “It was good talking with you too”.

Jesus.

Maybe she forgot that when her roof leaked, a republican crawled up there and fixed it.

Maybe she forgot that when her daughter’s car died a Republican came and got it running again.

Maybe she didn’t know it was a Republican that repaired her lawnmower. Sat for her dog. Fixed her air conditioner. Made sure she had heat, and no frozen pipes, and moral support. Someone to call and cry to when her grandfather died. Someone to be there for her when her marriage failed. Someone to make her fears go away when the darkness overtook her, late at night.

Nah. Couldn’t have been a republican. They’re all assholes.

Damn.
