I was chatting with Pop earlier-- a typical bantering back and forth ensued between the more-moderate-than-he-thinks liberal and probably-less-radical-than-I-accuse republican/libertarian:
Jon: Did you see the website www.idealist.org/? It's a good clearinghouse of job postings and volunteer opportunities for the non-profit sector.
Pop: Sounds like it's run by a bunch of democrats.
Jon: Yeah, they're the ones that try to change the world for the better.
Pop: If it was run by Republicans, it would be called www.realist.com.
Jon: No, if it were run by Republicans, it would be called www.assh*le.com.
Pop: That sounds like a gay sex website.
Jon: Don't go there. Hey, I wonder if there really is a website called assh*le.com-- let me try to bring it up.
Pop: Don't be surprised if you see a picture of yourself on there.
o-u-c-h!!!!!
Score-- Pop: 1 Jon: 0
Seriously, it was funny. I'm glad we can joke about these things. It's the only way we will find common ground in some areas.
(Incidentally, assh*le.com and realist.com are actual websites. Assh*le is pretty much what you might expect-- a-hem-- and realist is real estate listing service... I disabled the links so no one would go there by mistake... LOL)
