Political dating
I'm rereading a compiliation of short stories called "Dumped" and came across a story called "How to love a Republican". It has some racy scenes but is worth a read. It seems written by a liberal, although one that is honest about the shortcomings of liberals in general and himself specifically. The girl in the story reminds me of myself in the way she speaks and behaves, and of course her politics, but I'd like to think I would've kicked the boy to the curb much earlier.

Speaking of politics and dating... This one date I had the other week asked me about my politics and when I told her that I am a republican she was genuinely shocked and asked me if I was one just for the sake of being "different".
Check, please! :P

This has always been the Achilles heel of the Left: we are too fond of our own decency, too fearful of our anger. When the blackjacks come out, we quit the field and call it dignity."
haha. i almost spit out my drink when i read that. lol.
