...meaningless nouns, yes, but not nearly as pleasing as incense and peppermints.
My friend--let's just call her TJ--made me talk to one of her friends, Alex, on a 3-way call today. Now, TJ and Alex live in the Deep South, a where I used to live (but thankfully pulled myself out of such a hillbilly hell before too long.)
Just to keep conversation going, I said, (having been informed that Alex was a 'democrat'--but oh, what a sweet lie that turned out to be.) "So, which of the democratic candidates would you rather see win in 2008: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?" TJ burst out laughing. "OBAMA? What the hell! Who is named Obama?" Ignoring this feat of stupidity, I pressed on, "I think either would make a good president, but I believe Obama is much more likely to win, simply because Ms. Clinton is so heavily scrutinized due to her husband." Alex finally said, "I don't want either of them to win. One's a foreigner and one's just a bitch." Shocked, I was silent for a few moments. Then, in measured tones, I said, "If you believe Hillary Clinton is a bitch, that's fine. Whatever. But to shun somebody because they are foreign--and Barack Obama isn't foreign, anyway. If you were born in another country, you can't run for president. Stupid rule, but it's in place. Point is, who cares?" Alex scoffed. "I don't want a black man running my country! Pure and simple." About to combust, I said, "So, you're saying that you have to be white in order to run America?" "Yep," he said proudly, then added a stupid rebel yell.
People are such idiots!
