Reply #12: It's good to be a HIRPITA

[JuniperLea]

Knowledge is power. Keeping up with what's going on helps you head the RWers off at the pass. I work with a couple of 'em. I respect their business savvy and I'm routinely confused at how such highly intelligent and highly educated people can be so drunk on the Kool Aid. I think it pains them to discuss politics with me because I'm always two steps ahead and it really sticks in their craw. Still, there's a modicum of respect because they know they can't railroad me with their talking points. They don't say much too me anymore about politics, which is good. We need to maintain a healthy working relationship.

Another fun thing about being a HIRPITA is when you are lucky enough to speak to one of your Senators or Representatives... in one such incident I was at a local neighborhood meeting with our Rep, and she was asking questions to make her point. I had the answer to all her questions. It was fun:)

You are a pain in the ass... even to some of us... but that's okay. I'm sure I am too:)
