“Oh, I see you like to talk about politics. Great, me too. What do you think about that Ward 8 council race, because that’s where you live, right? Kay Jones has been in there since the nineties and knows the ropes, but boy does she like those developers! I’m coming around to that college professor candidate, what’s her name?”

“Ummm.”

“ You don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?”

‘Not really. I’ve only lived here six years, so I’m not really caught up on all that stuff.”

“So what you really want to talk about is the national politics that’s on late night entertainment talk shows and your Twitter feeds, and not the politics that actually affects our daily lives conducted by people that you could easily meet if you wanted to.”

Ummm, how do you feel about college football?”
