sharing time: i was telling my dad about how i know someone on the cover of this week's TIME mag and explained the headline. in response he got to talking about how about how young people are tired of the old politics. then he continued by saying, "you know what young people call old politicians in the philippines? trapo." short-hand for traditional politicians while poking fun by referring to them as washed up rags.what's new: for the first time my dad & i are both supporting the same candidate. it's very strange, my dad...the bill o' reilly-watching reagan republican, who i will argue with anger if we talk about the current president...wants to vote for barack in november. granted our reasoning is different, but yah that's a new one.
