Sartre was right

So right now, I'm sitting in the 'Customer Lounge' at Champion Toyota/Scion waiting to get my oil changed. I thought I would be able to get some work done on my laptop, but instead, there is a raging political debate going on. It started between a hispanic, vaguely cat-lady-looking woman with an AISD badge and a white, rather corpulent older gentleman with a good old boy accent. They started out on the election for governor and then quickly moved on to Bush and the war. Five or six other people are intermittently contributing to the argument and voices keep getting louder. At one point, Good Old Boy said something about the "damn Mexicans" and Cat Lady actually stood up and hopped up and down and turned a few circles while she yelled.

I'm debating whether it would help to point out their common ground - they are both loud, obnoxious, overweight Americans driving gas-guzzling SUVs, and demanding that everyone listen to what they have to say, whether it's pertinent or not.

Quotes to remember:

Good Old Boy - "Lemme ask you sumpin: did Mr. Bush save yur ass from Bin Ladding [yes, Ladding] or did he not?"

Cat Lady - *hysterically* "The law says we have to educate everybody! The law says we have to educate everybody! The law says we have to go to every country and educate everybody! We're cheating by making them come here!"
