<\/p>\nI’m an East Coast Liberal-tarian type who’s ok-down with all the political talk around here… in theory. <\/p>\n
But in general I follow the no politics or religion in public rule… just because it’s easier, and I guess I wussily think there’s really only negative stuff that can come from political or religious chatter, especially done in a professional bloggy context…<\/p>\n
Sports on the other hand, nobody’s offended by sports talk right? <\/p>\n
Go Giants!<\/p>\n
