Today a co-worker called me 'Obama'
He is a winger and he likes to see if he can get me to lose my cool.

I just said, "That would be, Mr. President, to you."

11. What kind of goofball...
thinks that is an insult?

The things that pass for humor among Repukes...

They are like a little kid pulling a nonsensical story out of his ass for attention and calling it a "joke".

22. He shook his head...
the look was like a dead fish...all bug eyed and pasty...like a flounder.

That thought has to be his worst nightmare...which makes me feel so good I get goose bumps thinking about it.

Peace.

24. Please resist the urge to gloat (unless he's an UTTER asshole)
If he's otherwise a decent sort, work on him. You BOTH might be surprised! I truly feel that this will be the most SIGNIFICANT election in the lifetime of almost all here, and there'll be MILLIONS of such people who'll wise up and STOP voting against their best interests.

28. He does have a sense of humor and
I am trying to work on him and others in the office. I use a certain man as my model and keep it all high ground.



This morning he laughed about yesterday and told me I got him good...

36. Sounds good! Keep working at it!
I'm beginning to sense a "change" in the nation, and one that hasn't seen since the Thirties. Your friend my be like the many MILLIONS of fellow Americans who may replace their HATREDS with HOPE. The image that comes to mind is from the "Wizard Of Oz", where a black & white Dorothy opens the door, and the world is suddenly in TECHNICOLOR! Yes, corny, but please indulge me.

pnorman
PS: Born in 1930, the Thirties is my Natal Decade. It would be so satisfying to see the other bookend, also one of HOPE.

40. That is a great analogy.
My 'friend' and I went to lunch today.

Hope is contagious.

Replace Hatred with Hope, what a great sentiment. I wish I could rec your post...

Peace.

25. "Bread and Circuses"
If things go "wrong" this November (ie: ANOTHER stolen election), it'll be more like "Soylent Green and Wars of Choice"

35. My personal theory about the extremism of any
segment of a culture is that extremism (of any sort) deactivates the ability to think critically.

Peace.

42. I did not want to insult him.
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 03:03 PM by saddlesore
Why would I? I could not have asked for a better compliment. ;-)

He is basically a good guy and he is starting to ask questions...behind the curtain come November it will only be his heart that helps him pull that lever.

Replace Hatred With Hope. thank you pnorman for that one

on edit: I was going to call him Shirt Smeller McFeller, but when he asked me to lunch today, I saw hope instead of hatred...

Peace.
