Funny thing happened at the Winn Dixie tonight.

[Maddy McCall]

I was walking down the aisle, and I, a white woman, saw a friend, a black man--we both are on the Democratic Executive Committee in my county. So, we were standing there chitchatting, when the ex-slut-now-fundy woman who started the pregnancy crisis center in my hometown walked by and stopped nearby, obviously trying to listen to our conversation.

Let me tell you a little more about her before I go on. I was very good friends with her gay brother before we lost touch. She's been married three times, and she was well-known as a skanky pill popper and drunk before she "found Jesus" and impressed the fundies by donating all of her free time at the crisis center. Since she's been "saved," she won't speak to anyone who isn't in her fundy circle--NOT EVEN HER BROTHER. In her old life, I used to see her and ask how her brother was, and she would tell me. Now she avoids me whenever she sees me.

She had Bush signs and "This family votes pro life" signs all over her yard during the election, and "Abortion is Murder" and "Man+Woman=Marriage" stickers on her SUV. I won't speculate on the authenticity of her conversion, but I will say that she's only shifted addiction from pills to Jesus now. And, in my book, an addiction is an addiction.

So, she stands there, obviously listening to us and then gives me a tisk-tisk stare. I am sure that, knowing her history, she assumes that we heathens MUST be doing drugs and sleeping together, since talking to someone in the grocery store MUST equate to fucking them.

Well, anyway, my friend and I were talking about the election and how sad we were. And my friend said, "I was really pissed off about the results. I can't believe he won." And I said (partly to egg the eavesdropper on), "That's debateable. I think there was fraud." Out of the corner of my eye, I caught her turn, as if she was going to speak. And I continued, "But it's amazing to me how many poor southerners voted for Bush just because they have irrational fears of women making decisions about their own bodies."

SHE "harumphed" at me, and then said "Bush is a Christian!" :WTF: and then left her full buggy in the middle of the aisle, and stomped out of the store. She made an obvious scene--what a psycho former-pill-popping bitch! The funny thing to me is that if she wouldn't have been eavesdropping on us, she wouldn't have heard our conversation.

BITCH! :evilgrin:
