This morning, I was bringing the mail upstairs, and had my boss's Newsweek in hand. I passed by one of the most bigoted, hateful, uptight, ultra-religious, right-winged political women I have ever had the misfortune to come across. She looked at the cover of the magazine, and said "That's a very unflattering photo". I said it was a very unflattering person. She asked who it was. I said, "Condoleezza Rice" She answered. "Hmmmm. I don't know who that is..."

She has opinions. Nasty, hateful opinions that she doesn't mind spouting, and yet, she doesn't even know who her beloved, God-fearing President's cronies are.

I find that sad, and pretty fucking funny, all at the same time.
