But do develop a "what you just said is beyond stupidity" glare. It takes two to argue & giving this I-can't-think-for-myself-so-I-rely-on-Rethug-talking-points dolt an opposing view could lead to disaster in your work environment. Politics should be avoided completely in the workplace if your paycheck means anything.

During a conversation I had with a co-worker the other day, Miss (I-live-for-the-church) ILFTC told me that her husband thinks Democrats are "little devils". There were three of us talking & when she said that I simply gave her a "you've got to be kidding" look. She awkwardly left the room & the two of us left were laughing & mocking what Miss ILFTC said. Politics aren't mentioned at all at our workplace; what started out as an innocuous conversation about how Miss ILFTC's son was doing (he works in the press office for Gov. Blanco), it turned political when she said he may be out of a job in November. I had asked her if her son was a Democrat & she said "oh noooo" but he isn't really "into politics". If he is in fact a Republican, his hiring says a lot about the character of Democrats: Gov. Blanco's administration didn't base his hiring on his political views.
