Republicans should know better than to lunch with me.
By ultrageek
One of the hazards of having been in technology for nearly 30 years now is that most of my peers are older white males who are better off than the majority of the populace. They are overwhelmingly Christian suburbanites. They are (cue horror movie music) Republicans.
Which is fine. Except when they challenge little ol Jewish lesbian me to a debate where they are absofuckinglutely sure that they will win and I will be reduced to snivelling in the corner. Politics.
The last time someone tried we were just about to go into Iraq. By the end of the afternoon, he was telling all his friends to vote for Howard Dean.
Well, I was asked out by a Republican for lunch, and within about 3 minutes, the discussion went into politics.
