The Pink Shoe Diaries

i really hate discussing politics at work


i know you never thought you would hear me say that, but i am surrounded by about 8 - 12  republicans and even i cower under those kinds of odds. they know i am a democrat, and they leave me in peace. kind of like an office bee, you know. they know i mean no harm


but every so often someone brings in some kind of article they found in "Women's Wall Street.com" Or "Rich Fuck Quarterly" and i read it (against my judgement) and i let forth my decidedly leftist commentary and generaly feelings of political disenfranchisement. everyone is amused. really.


for instance, i just was given the distinct pleasure of readng this article, ominously titled "Terror in the Skies"


before i even finished the first paragraph i disliked the woman who wrote it (A clear Anne Coulter-wannabe...she even QUOTES miss coulter towards the end of the article, which just cemented my earlier assumption) which then prompted me to launch into my speech regarding paranoia-bordering-retardation. i'm serious. it's like as soon as some people see an arab man they watch him constantly, furtively, for signs of terroristic intent. i'm sure i act pretty weird on flights too. christ, i am wasted half of the time and the other time i am praying the plane won't crash. ask me how many times i have written a "last will and testament" on the back of AIR magazine during mild turbulance. (3 times).  luckily because i am a white woman, my behavior is a little less interesting than that if i was a man from syria


ok, i am off to a sox game. latas!
