1:17 PM me: http://www.voteforteri2010.com/
1:18 PM Mark: I'm glad the internet ranter and the political campaign have finally merged
1:19 PM what exactly did you want me to see there?
 me: that fucking website
1:20 PM "It is a slap in the face of all the LEGAL immigrants to grant ANY KIND of amnesty. You are here either legally or NOT AT ALL. I strongly support changing the law to deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants. US Citizenship is a prize to be given to those who earn it"
1:21 PM Mark: the picture is pretty scary too
 me: this is also kind of amusing and fascist
  I am a passionate supporter of education. I lived in Japan where I saw 5 year old children in school uniforms with a book bag as big as they were, going to school 6 days a week, year round. They also went to classes after school and on weekends because the industry and business that runs Japan wants a literate well-educated workforce.
1:22 PM Mark: haha, that last bit is amusingly accurate
 me: I know, sounds like something huge liberal says but less approvingly
1:24 PM I'm going to interview her
 Mark: are you, now
  under what pretext?
1:25 PM (i mean, you are the last person she'd want to talk to if she had the least inkling who you were)
 me: none
  I'm going to assume that she is not savvy enough to google me, much less make heads or tails of what I'm about
1:26 PM Mark: ah, yes, most likely
1:28 PM me: this woman appears to have won a primary
 Mark: yeah, though it sounds like a pretty heavily democratic district
  if the rep ran unopposed recently
1:29 PM me: http://www.allexperts.com/ep/3653-90995/Dining/Teri-Davis-Newman.htm
1:30 PM Mark: woah
  did you read the "something controversial"?
1:32 PM me: no
1:33 PM Mark: "The illegal immigrant in the kitchen was digging through garbage and eating it before sneaking into the USA so sanitation and handwashing isn't something they do and 'stomach flu' is ALWAYS food poisoning!"
 me: holy shit
  I'll have to ask her if legal immigrants do that, too
  or just illegals
1:34 PM good thing you caught that
  this woman's gotta be stopped before she becomes next VP nominee
1:35 PM Mark: i wouldn't worry. she's not photogenic enough
1:38 PM me: those are just bad angles

28 minutes
2:07 PM me: lol, she's down
2:10 PM Mark: well, good luck
