I'm in the Seattle area too. You have my deepest sympathies. Been there re the office.

Shouldn't there be one of those laws about a hostile work place, when the hostility is political? LOL

Yes! It's Political Harrassment!!!

I may not be joining the argument, but I'm not bothering to hide my RNC calendar or my Free Republic coffee mug either. :)

Regarding the politically hostile workplace, you might change someone's mind, but that is doubtful. I don't go to work to get in an argument everyday, so, I use headphones. Listen to music, the radio, whatever. Something uplifting. When I get a chance with someone not so hostile, I do speak.

I do feel for you. I've had my troubles at the office.

My boss gives me President Bush birthday cards every birthday. I pin them up around my cubicle, people get the drift and leave me alone with the hostility. You don't get much work done if you have to argue with coworkers everyday.

I really sympathize with both of you on the Seattle thingee.
