re: #182 Targetpractice

Don’t know which run-in with a “conservative” rankled me more today. First was one of our regulars at the shop, a well-to-do fellow who owns his own computer security company in town and has tried twice for elected office as a Republican (lost primary for US House seat, lost election for local seat). Came into the shop today and told me about how he’s worried about his family and their future, before telling me with a little grin about how he’ll “have” to cancel health insurance for his employees because now Obamacare can “take care of them.”

Second was my old man, which just left me depressed. Man hardly talked politics up til recently, at least in my presence, but now he’s acting like a totally sore loser over the election. When I mentioned stories about how folks up in New England still without power are going to have a rough time with the coming bad weather, his response was “I hope they get slammed.”

Now I remember why I loath election season.
