I don't think it's good form for employees that serve the public to wear
any political button. I know _we_ are not allowed to.

We are, however, allowed to wear American Flag pins!

I've heard that to. I checked with a friend in the Austin and local
PD's, and we aren't gearing up for anything. No need.

Same here I guess...

Apparently Obama nixed the idea of a big fireworks display at the end of his
Grant Park speech, didn't want to seem too gloating or euphoric. A smart
move...

When I watched him I noticed that his hair was graying a bit, I thought,
"Man, in a few years you'll be *totally* gray, you have the hardest job in
the world"...


[...]


> Happy election day babe!


It was a lovely sunny 70+ degree day, everyone was in a good mood. Except
for the bartender at my local watering hole who is a Republican. I said,
"Hey, why be mad, it is what it is.". Getting worked up about electoral
politics any more is a fairly useless exercise, I've better things to
do...don't be going being all bitter, it's easy enuf to get a sour face.

I was happy for all the Obama supporters, many of them black. It was their
"day", you can't begrudge them that...

It's a good reason for servers not to advertise their politics at work.

well, maybe.
But if the server had been a woman with a pair of double-D's under that
button....I bet she'd have gotten her tip.

OK, I don't know. Perhaps my statement was a little flip. Maybe the
server upped his tips for customers who were *** and/or supported Obama.
As a server, I would feature my service, not my politics or sexual
orientation.

Stiffing seems out of line.

>Unless the diner is a complete asshole.

You mean that guy who is in my killfile so many times, because he
changes his name and Email address several times a week?

I am almost sorry that I don't get to vote in American elections. I have
just discovered that Obama is family and it is strange to think that I
may be related to the first American black president of the US.

My (late) brother in law's ex-wife called the other day to tell me that
Obama's mother's maiden name was Dunham, which is my mother is law's
maiden name. Someone had researched and published a genealogical study
that traces the Dunham family roots back to the Massachusetts colony in
the 1630. Part of the family were Loyalists during the revolution and
moved to Canada, and some moved back. Somewhere along the line, Obama's
family moved west. Never the less Obama and my wife share a common
ancestor 10 generations ago.

What's more interesting is that this common relative was a bit of a
radical and changed his name to Dunham. I could not find his name on ay
of the ships passenger lists in that time period, but it seems that
there is another guy who used the same Dunham alias, and he was on the
Mayflower and was one of the signers of the Mayflower Covenant.


So my votes is for Obama.

o.k., be a dolt and vote for the man who thinks *** marriage should be
'left to the states.' here's a clue: republicans hate you, fag-boy

For crying out loud, there's a LOT more to life than being queer,
blake...anyways here in Chicawgo and Illannoy we have all sorts of anti -
discrimination laws and ordinances, so no worries for me. And if being
queer is SO important to somebody who lives in a "*** - unfriendly" place,
IMNSHO they'd do well to get OFF their arses and WORK and so then be able to
move to a "blue state" or a more liberal area and then they can stop the all
the puerile cry - babying. One's sexuality is just *one* facet of one's
being, if you are defining yerself entirely by who you prefer to sleep with
then you need to get just a *leedle* bit more mature about things...take
some responsibility fer your own fate for chrissakes.

I find that your openness about your sexual orientation is the only bearable
thing about you as expressed on this group. I have already killfiled 4
versions of you before reaching this 5th one just today. You simply don't
seem to have a clue about how to behave in public.
