Do I tell the person approaching my wang with a cauterization tool that I publish a stridently liberal web site? Keep in mind that we're in conservative North Florida, where doctors and just about everybody else are rock-ribbed Republicans and the presidential campaign's getting angrier by the day. Some of my neighbors in this right-wing community are finding it difficult to accept that a Democrat might win the White House. They thought a cure had been found for that disease years ago.
Every now and again I run across a brilliant bit of writing that absolutely makes me want to shutter my blog and deep-six my keyboard, because I know that I will never, EVER be able to produce anything like this. 'Course, with any luck, I'm never going to find myself in this sort of position. There are certain lines I'm just not willing to cross...and allowing someone- ANYONE- close to Junior with a scalpel or a cauterization tool is at the top of that list.
I'm sorry, but no matter how comfortable I am with my doctor, if I've somehow consented to having my plumbing rearranged, I'm talking sports or TV shows or Thanksgiving plans...ANYTHING but politics, especially just prior to perhaps the most important election of our lives. Then again, when you discover that the doctoring hovering over you with the future of your Johnson in his hands is heavily involved in the effort to prevent future Presidents like our current Miserable Failure ©, I suppose it would be a wee bit easier to relax just a little bit, eh?
