That Blitzer interview with the Oklahoma atheist mom was a perfect metaphor for dating in California

But in a totally non-christian way. I relived the one who spent all of dinner asking for your birth-date, or saying "if you put it out there to the Universe, it will happen" (whilst simultaneously saying that "praying to God" is primitive bullshit), or who answers the question "what are you reading?" with "the newest Sylvia Brown book", or the "agnostic" who thanks Ganesh, or the one who says "I'll never date a Libra". Heck, even the one who assumes you're a fan of electronic dance "music"! It never ends.

In some ways, it's worse here than how it was in the south back in the day. Of course, that was back in the day, so who knows what it's like now.

Anyway, I know the expression on that mother's face all to well, for it has more often than not been my own.

Presumptions. Who needs 'em?
