Since my office is near the kitchen/break room, I overhear lots of random shit when I leave my door open.
Today, I got to overhear two of my coworkers discussing the upcoming election. Both are very Republican, so they weren't arguing or anything ,just discussing things from the right wingnut point of view.
The statement that just made want to punch a motherfucker in the nuts? It went like this:
"Obama's a god damned communist...look at his voting record. And he's more Muslim than Christian."
I'm sorry, but nothing in the Democrat party is remotely left enough to do more than dabble in minor socialism. And the stupid Muslim statement? I can't believe people are still spouting that shit.
If you want to vote for McCain, vote for McCain, but why is it necessary to demonize the left? Last time I checked, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam all started under Democrat rule, and they didn't capitulate or go handing the country over to the Soviets or the Chinese. Their Republican followers agreed to a stalemate or left the field to the enemy, respectively. If Nixon had won in 1960, it wouldn't shock me if there were missiles in Cuba.

Although your right wingnuts seem to be better (or worse) than ours. The only person I know at work to throw the C-bomb is sort of acknowledged by one and all as a kook... because he thinks the Republicans are hard socialists.

(Yes, technically, but so far this looks like the S&L crisis about 20 years ago: Intervention and minimal nationalization to prevent an immediate liquidity crisis, followed by a more orderly fire sale of assets back into the market over the course of a few years, with the added benefit that the egregiously offending firms are ruthlessly destroyed. It ain't nothin' good; it's certainly a bad thing. But I'm not going to panic any more than I did in 1987.)

I live in Toano, though.

Toano's nice, and Williamsburg shouldn't be that bad on pricing. We were looking in that area when we were considering moving back to Hampton Roads from up here in
hellNorthern VA, and pricing in that area wasn't that bad (although we were looking on the York Co. side, and Toano's James City Co. if memory serves).From:

There was a farm for sale in Guinea that I thought about for a moment...sure, it ain't as rough as it used to be, but naaah. Plus it was a bit far for a commute.
