I didn't think conversations like that actually happened.

Back story: the guy that refills/replaces (?) our fire extinguishers came to the office to do, well, just that. Darrell and Claudio are not in the office, so he gets talking to me. He's a very friendly guy, forties, speaks quickly (almost too quickly to keep up with).

So he asked if I was working here part-time or full-time, what school I was going to, and so on. So I told him about going to Humber, and he starts into this diatribe about university professors being wankers and stuff like that. Whatever, some of 'em are (I heard the same story from him as I did from my parents about York and UofT professors, so I can only assume it is true...). He's kind of rambling, but he's so enamoured with his own voice that I can literally just smile and nod.

Then he starts going on about television and how he hates watching "CBS, ABC, all those channels, because of their left wing socialist bias."

I just looked at him.

Oh no, but it continued. He loves Bill O'Reilly, FOX News. "Everyone says they're so right-wing, but really, they're kind of right of centre. And Bill O'Reilly, well, he's all over the place."

I smiled and nodded, not sure if the correct response was "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're joking, right?", "I voted NDP", or "Wow, suddenly I've realized what Tucker Carlson looks like without his bowtie."

He continues going on about the left-wing socialist media - no, seriously, he couldn't refer to the media without using these words - and then subtly shifts his focus to celebrities that attempt to do humane things. "What's Bono really doing? Trying to get on magazine covers, I think. He's just a celebrity." Apparently sending money to Africa doesn't work, because a 20/20 reporter wrote that it doesn't. "Angelina Jolie might really care about kids in Africa, but Brad Pitt? I doubt it." My mind envisions Christy and Amber, now named Team Short, Brunette, And Kicking His Ass, well, kicking his ass.

I slowly move forward, and he backs out the door, finally leaving with some cheerful words goodbye.

I am so very amused.

Left-wing socialist media.

Right, and Bill O'Reilly's right-of-centre.

This man has obviously never heard of Michael Corin.

*kicks his ass, especially for the Bono comment :P*

*laughs* That was why you came into the vision. ;)

:D
I'm such a fangirl.

Ha ha. LEFT WING SOCIALIST SMASH!

I'd personally hate to see what this guy's idea of right-winged is.

I saw one Bill O'Riley debate, which really just consisted of him prevaricating the issue by blasting the left-ist side of the debate for "calling people names."

I shit you not.

That's a pretty common tactic with him.

I would have thought that Bono's problem was that not many people know if he sent money. All that was really advertised was Bono going, "Donate!" And it kind of left the image of just one guy saying donate and then not donating any of his own money.

Oh well... Rabble rabble and so on. Oh also, PORCELAIN DOLLS!

I think Bono is more focused on governmental aid, debt relief, and fair trade than on personal charity.

They steal your breath in the night.

Actually, that's even cooler than just the doll sighing. Lately you've been short of breath, but only around the house...

... whoa what? That's creepy.

*laughs* Just some creepy rumors/weird things that could happen in the WoD that we were coming up with. I came up with a doll that your neighbour gives you, that slowly seems to be getting more and more lifelike, and then one day you're passing by it and it sighs...

*lip quiver* Eep!

*grins* Everyone hates the dolls. Jason was a whimpering little kitten. It was awesome.

Dude, that sounds so fun. (one of my friends has a thing for creepy dolls, as you'll see in the upcoming movie he recently finished called "Silence." Creepy dolls.)

BTW, you wanna see a creepy assed doll?
