Locker Room Fox

This woman at the gym apparently can't get dressed with out her 15 minute dose of Fox News. Unfortunately she takes all the same classes I take and is in the locker room at the same exact time that I am. At first I thought it was just a fluke, but yesterday after finishing some soul calming Yoga I walked in to find her switching to Fox News and (you'll never believe this) turning it UP! Why, again, do I live in Kansas? I've taken to wearing earbuds, but it's difficult to get dressed with wires coming from my ears. I wonder what would happen if I just told her that because Fox news obviously hates Liberals and Atheists, I consider it a personal insult to have them on anywhere in my vicinity. What then? What would I do if someone said that about one of my favorite shows?

Tea-bagger: "John Stewart obviously hates conservatives and tea-baggers so, I consider it a personal insult to have him on anywhere in my vicinity"

Me: "Really? Are you a conservative or a tea-bagger?"

(let's go for broke)

Tea-bagger: "Both"

Me: "Oh. I'm sorry." "So are you against gay marriage?" "How do you feel about taxing the rich?" "Do you believe that outlawing abortion is going to stop people from having them?" "What is your take on education?" "Are you Christian? How do you feel about Intelligent Design?" "What about your pay equalling that of your male counterparts? Do you think it should?"

Yep. I think it would be refreshing to talk about issues rather than use labels to make assumptions. I believe John Stewart would approve and I would turn him off in a heartbeat if someone asked me to.
