I'm thinking that perhaps I'll be a little late to my writing group tonight, if all goes as planned.

Figment and I have come to the agreement that we can't talk politics for too long before we have to start talking about Kermit the Frog's presidential campaign. I'm a general liberal, he's a general conservative, and we came to the conclusion together that John Kerry would have done a lot better running on a campaign of "I'm a pompous ass but I can get the job done," rather than "I'm really just a regular guy, even though I come off as a pompous ass." I was polite and did not talk about any Bush but my own, and even that was given a general miss given that I'm not married to him and it wouldn't be proper.
We also talked about cream-pie politics, and how liberals don't tend to get cream-pied by protesters. I suggested that it would be a decent publicity stunt, for a liberal to hire an enthusiastic supporter to pie them, and then react to it gracefully in contrast to people getting all overwrought about being pied. (Figment claimed that he, himself, could actually not be a conservative, because conservatives are not supposed to have a sense of humor, and that sparked the discussion.)
In any case, he and I should never talk politics over the phone, because he will not see my face, and he will miss the obvious danger signs like my lips tightening, my fists clenching, and me shutting the hell up; he'll only clue in when I pull out the big Clue Bat in the form of the topic change to Kermit the Frog. We've agreed that this is best.
