I have been to New York so much in the past quarter that I can actually tell you where Tribeca and SOHO split, cool restaurants with the best food at Union Station, and the difference between Midtown and Downtown. However, I can't tell you where to find one, single Conservative in the entire area.
Every time I'm at a bar, minding my own business and eating my dinner alone, someone strikes a conversation with me. Regardless of any conscious effort I make to avoid the topic at any cost, the moment I admit I am from Texas the "I hate George W. Bush" conversation follows.
Last week, as I am trying to stomach meatloaf at a poor choice of a dinner destination on Prince Street, two men walk in and sit at the open spots next to me. The conversation starts innocently enough regarding the quality of the meatloaf and my boasting of my own Southern recipe. Soon we are discussing the validity of ADHD and how Republicans can not be single parents. Anyone who knows me realizes I could not possibly have enough strength to leave the topic.
With each shot, he gets more Liberal, which illustrates that ignorance must be innate since our real personalities seem to emerge when we get drunk. After a few more drinks he goes out to call his girlfriend, who happens to be a very well known celebrity. Ahh, all the pieces of the puzzle begin to come together.
It was then I realized how real the hate for Bush is in Hollywood.
I'm rooting for Chicago today. Let's just hope I don't have to turn my back on the NFL. I wouldn't know what to do with myself while bypassing the movie theatre hasn't been that tough over the past few years.
