A wonderful photographic composite of the attorney general. Study closely.
RED-BLUE DATING: Here’s an email that’s telling about where we are:
I am a 49 year old professional classical musician and educator and not a democrat. Your quote today from Margot Mifflin of Salon in her ‘therapy’ session perfectly describes the reaction I have stirred up in a new girlfriend. Like many musicians, she is zealously left-liberal. Her heroes are Ted Kennedy and Hillary. (not Sir Edmund) We share everything in common except politics. I am able to accept and understand her values while not agreeing with them, but am perplexed by her difficulty with mine. She is like the robot on the old Lost In Space TV show. When I explain rationally that I do not think that Rush Limbaugh is ‘evil’, and that perhaps Al Qaeda might better illustrate that concept, she starts spinning around and yammers “It does not compute, It does not compute”. Furthermore, she is constantly asking questions about my views on one aspect of politics or another with every question beginning with either ‘Why’? or, ‘How could you possibly?’…….. In other words, I am viewed as some kind of double anomaly, on the one hand I am one of those neanderthal Republicans, and on the other I SEEM to be a reasonable and civilized one. This is causing her no end of confusion. She is actually having dinner with and making love to one of “THEM”. So much for inclusiveness and ending ‘Us against Them’ thinking in our lifetime. Sigh…
