Trying to remove information from the Internet is like trying to remove pee from a swimming pool.

I was having a conversation with one of my bosses today, and we were discussing a few people that are candidates for a job in my department.  Since of the three guys we've talked to, only one seems competent, I joked that the good guy is looking like he's going to have John McCain status soon.

This sparked a political discussion with him.  He opened with, "I don't like to sound prejudiced, but I can't vote for a woman to do a man's job."  I took that with an air of understanding.  This guy just went through a bad divorce, and has an axe to grind with women.  Nevertheless, it's just as stupid a reason not to vote for Clinton as it is a reason to do so.  Then, he started talking about Obama...

He said that Obama scares him since Obama is a muslim...


I couldn't believe it.  I corrected him and said his father was a muslim, Obama is not.  His response, "If you step in shit, you still got shit on your shoes."


Discussing politics at work is a mistake.
