Some of my favorite coworkers over the years are ones I've vehemently disagreed with politically. Politics is a funny thing. I can't think of anything else that turns otherwise intelligent people into bumbling idiots to the same degree. Whenever you get caught up in the political issue du jour, it's good to keep in mind that much of the political news is about petty bickering inside the beltway and not about governance and policy.
