I just called my Republican friend
Here's how the conversation happened:

MB: Hi!

RF: Oh hiya Modem!

MB: Do me a favor and check out CNN.com

RF: Why, are you on it?

MB: No, no, just open it up and check out the headline.

RF: Okay. Three second pause God damn it.

MB: Laughing hysterically This is revenge for the time you made me watch the Monica speech.

RF: Yeah, but your guy actually DID something!

MB: And yours didn't! Which is why he had to take responsibility.

RF: AARRRGGGHHH!

or did you try to sway him from the Dark Side (TM)?

5. Well, not really

We talked a little bit about this coming weekend. He and his wife are having a small barbecue and my partner and I can't make it. But that was essentially 90% of the conversation.

There's no swaying this guy to the dark side. But I did get his wife to vote Kerry in 2004.

4. LOL! "Your guy actually did something".
"And yours didn't". Which opens the usual question, which is worse, cheating on one's wife or sitting on your ass while people are dying? Think the answer should be obvious.

8. His guy Screwed more people then your Guy
So long as we are on the subject. LOL!

And your guy was "nicer" about it. Cause no one died in the act.

Maybe some moaning.. but I don't think those were moans of pain or complaint.
