I work with one of the most leftist people you could imagine. Not only does he sport Impeach Bush! bumperstickers, but even had a vanity plate made for impeachment as well.
He walked by my cube today and on the Mac I had a nice picture of Earth as the background. The picture just happens to have North America in view, which he complained about with a very snide "That's a very North American Centric picture don't you think?" comment.
Everything to this man is politics. I don't think it would be stretch to say he probably believes the 1972 picture of the Earth was forced to show the USA by Karl Rove and Bush Co. The man actually has a map of the earth where other countries are "scaled" to show their "importance" rather than actual size or something.
And these people call themselves "reality based"?
