8. I just got off from a call like that and used "there you go"

A friend was ranting about
1) Petreaus' resignation being some sort of Obama conspiracy related to Benghazi (but then again, isn't everything)
2) Obama not allowing Lockheed Martin to tell their employees they were being fired (I had to google that one, and she neglected to mentioned "they would be fired...IF we go over the fiscal cliff" and that Lockheed wanted to put the notice out in order to scare their employees into voting for Mitt)

I could have argued both or either, but I just kept saying "there you go". I wasn't going to get anywhere, and what she and her wingnut family was so upset about was "this country will never again be what it was".

She's been a friend since we were 10 years old, and only recently turned into an insane wingnut, so it was worth letting her rant and get it out of her system.
