We ate, discussed, joked, and every now and then, fell silent listening to the tv, as one of us muttered something along the lines of "we're doomed" and took a sip of wine.
We were going to abort some babies and offer them to our lord Satan, but we were too tired. You know, school night and all.
For serious, though, it was a pretty liberal room, not surprisingly. It's interesting my friends probably live in a tax bracket that would benefit from some Republican policies. They've worked their tails off, and have earned a pretty comfortable lifestyle. Because they don't flaunt it, I don't feel like the odd man out when I'm around them.
By the way, when Sarah Palin talked about not raising taxes vs. Obama wanting to, she sorta omitted the people McCain wouldn't raise taxes for are the nation's top earners. (You know, like his wife.)
So as I surveyed this beautiful urban apartment, it was clear my friends could maybe benefit from some wealthy-people tax breaks. However their morals, not their wallet, guide their political leanings.
It was satisfying to take part in a social atmosphere that would make Sarah Palin verrrrrry uncomfortable. And I'm not just saying it's because my friends are lesbians. Hell, she'd probably wink at them too, they're very charming.
I'm talking about all the big words we used. We used irony - I think that would go over Ms. Palin's head.
More later. I gotta work.
Palin and her sole gay fan hold a "craziest eyes" contest.
