I have a colleague at work.  He is a Physical Education teacher, wrestling coach and a pretty nice guy.  He is also a rabid Democrat.  You know the kind, everything is “Bush’s fault”.  “Bush is an idiot.”   “Bush tricked us into an immoral war in the Middle East.”  Well, my principal’s husband just got a job offer in Bahrain.  A company is willing to pay him US $30,000 a month for three years; the catch is that he will have to live in Bahrain for three years.  Of course, Mr “I hate Bush” just had to ask, “Where’s Bahrain?”  Yep, this is a guy who can tell you how and why the Iraq War is a huge mistake but he doesn’t even know the basic geography of the region.  And people wonder why I don’t take the Democratic Party seriously…
