Scenes from the Apocalypse: the Dinner Party
I recently attended a dinner party given in honor of a friend who was moving away for a new job. As is not terribly surprising in these parts, the vast majority of those present were liberal to varying degrees (I'm *reasonably* certain I was not invited merely to be the token conservative ..)
The departing friend is heading for Sodom on the Potomac. Not for a political, administration-connected job, but still. A branch of the government.
NOBODY discussed politics. The topic was simply never mentioned. At all. It was very strange, and completely unlike them. I suppose it is too much to hope that they are as angry as I am with the current administration, but the silence was an indication their delight in Obama has vanished.
Maybe they won't denounce me to the Citizen's Committee after all ...

Hey, some genuine Hope and Change!
God, are you a terrible writer.
Anon:
You forgot the question mark at the end of the question...
I'm pretty sure that God's answer would, in fact, be:
"No, actually I'm a pretty good one..."
(Because, otherwise, you would be trolling this blog, and I KNOW you weren't doing THAT!)
Thanks, Sgt. B! Alas, poor brave Anonymous commenter, we barely knew ye .... and now you are a little grease spot on the foot of a giant lizard. By the way, Anon, when the blog offends thee, click away. I will somehow find a way to survive the loss.
Ah, yes - there does seem to be a bit more silence from the lib crowd. We can only hope it stifles the legistlative types in Olympia. But I am not holding my breath.

There's that Hope thing again. Obie's certainly accomplished *that* much.
*My* hope is that the silence isn't mistaken for approval.
BTW, there's a grease spot in your comment section. I know you're not a neat-freak, but still...
