OK is one of the reddest of the reds. And even the students at OU reflect this, though the campus is, I'd say, more blue than red. I was so discouraged today and just about crying over the apparent lack of concern over "the clusterf***k." I was just sick. So when I heard the name "Bush" in conversation behind me, I immediately started listening in even though I was reluctant to, afraid of what I might hear.
Anyway, here's part of the convo between two white, well-dressed, clean-cut (probably Repub due to the following conversation)young men. I missed some of it, but here's what I heard:
Young Man 1: ...see, that's the thing. I really don't think they know what they're doing.
Young Man 2: yeah I know..but...(unintelligible mumbling for about a sentence or so)
Young Man 1: I know, I know, I LIKE (or liked, I couldn't hear that well) George Bush, but I don't know. I kind of think maybe Kerry would have handled this a lot better. I kind of wish...(unintelligible) or DEAN! At least....(unintelligible) some BALLS!
Young Man 2: (unintelligible mumbling)...9/11?
Young Man 1: Yeah, but now it's...mumble mumble...and they STILL don't know how to deal with this kind of shit? You know, man?
Young Man 2: yeah.
Then I left. That was SO good to hear today.
