Heartwarming liberal story

So tonight I went to the farewell party of a colleague -- he and his wife are soon fleeing the state. Now, said colleague is a cool guy but drove me nuts before the last presidential election, from little random anti-Bush comments to big random anti-Bush comments. As everybody was saying goodbye at TGI Friday's at last call, he told me, "I love your writing. Even though you're Republican. You're making me start to think like you." (To which the rest of us replied, "Scary!")

Touching, eh? (sniff)
