My wife is pretty a-political. Really. A-political. Republicans. Democrats. Libertarians. Everybody. They all piss her off.
I think it's because she's a woman of very deep feeling. When she gets mad about something, she's mad for days. DAYS. At home, I watch the Republican primary debates on the sly. I watch the final Presidential debates and she goes to bed....
...that thing Michelle Bachman said about the HPV vaccine. That was the ONLY snippet she heard from Michelle Bachman and she was mad about it for days and days and days. She BROODED over it. She still brings it up. I'm not talking like kind-of-sort-of mad. I'm talking days of angry brooding mad.
Does she vote? Of course she does. Every single time. But I can't say she's always liberal in her voting. That lady...she's a very independent, oddball thinker on all fronts. That's why I love her. Feisty. Weird. She's the mother of my children.
She owns her own biz and likes to complain about taxes. She sees her taxes from the city, the County, the state, the Fed...every couple months she sends thousands of dollars to the some entity or another and then hands off the check she makes from 70 hours of work per week and it amounts to way less than minimum wage. And yes...she's mad about it "I just paid $8000 in taxes this month...here..deposit my check so we can keep our GAS from being shut off."
So yes. She gets upset with everybody.
I rarely talk politics at home. And she TOLERATES but isn't thrilled about my political blogging and political activity. I post here as my political interaction. Home isn't the place for political discussion.
Now let's fast forward to this birth control issue. She's aware of it. And let me just say.......she's mad
MAD.
I think I read all of two or three sentences from an article talking about the birth control issue to her and she's mad. MAD.
See...as much as she's annoyed at taxes......she's even MORE annoyed at Republican's dicking around about calling Birth Control ABORTION.
