Hmmmm, must be more of that 'Global Warming'. Or is it 'Global Cooling', once again? Oh, wait a minute, it must be the horrors of man-made 'Climate Change'; caused by all of the CO2 emmissions from the Chicago delegation travelling to Copenhagen.
...Oh well, I guess they better just 'Cap & Trade' it.

GG, whether you admit it, or not, 'politics' has a great deal to do with even your day-to-day existence. At work, you practice 'corporate/office politics' (or in your case, 'hospital politics'), because if you didn't, you wouldn't last long and/or advance in the private sector. At home there is always politics associated with any activity where there is group involvement. These include 'sports/activity politics' for anything that you and/or your kid might be involved in, there are 'politics' involved with PTA-type functions, and anything else where an official or unofficial hirearchy exists. Even 'neighborhood politics' has a place for those who try for best block party, nicest lawn/garden, most concealed extramarital affairs, etc.
In the rest of the world, politics comes into play whenever some clown attempts to use their beliefs in order to restrict my freedoms. Whether it is the food I eat, the cars I own/drive, my firearms, my cigarettes, my 'carbon footprint', etc. Why these overbearing and small-minded souls feel a need to do this, I do not know; pehaps it is some twisted form of being a 'do-gooder', or maybe they want the rest of us to be as miserable as they are (even though their misery may in fact be due to some deep-rooted pathology).
Anyways "Yes", I do look at most everything through a political lense, and that is my perogative to do so. Do I catch heat for it from some thin-skinned board members, "Yep, sure do." But does it bother me? Not at all; for it lets me know that I have gotten them to think (maybe not always logically, maybe for the first time in their lives, but one step at a time), and I'll call that a victory. Although I do notice that there is never any outcry/rally in defense for the critsism directed at me personally; unlike the 'wailing & gnashing of teeth' and/or 'hand-wringing & pontificating' which occurs over some of my opinions, which are never directed at any one person (unless they attack first, then I reserve the right to defend myself), which is unlike the unbridled 'puppy pile' that I sometimes encounter.
P.S.- And above all else, my initial post was that of political humor, with a 'play on words' for a final touch...
