Jon Stewart – my favorite t.v. personality – and Bill O’Reilly – dad’s favorite – went head to head last week. It made me sad not to be able to talk about it with dad. Dad and I would have gone round and round about it. We mastered the art of talking politics long ago. Dad’s politics were to the right of atilla the hun. Mine are a bit lefty – Lets just say that nearly 20 years living in berkeley made an impression on me. At first our conversations always ended up as arguments. But neither of us liked wasting our limited time arguing. We eventually learned how to have fun with our political differences and when it was time to change the subject.
