I had a funny encounter with one of my more distant cousins at the family reunion. He said I have a trustworthy face and should run for politics. He asked if I had ever thought about it and said I should talk to another of our cousins about his political connections. Knowing my political leanings and the fact that they're on the other end of the spectrum from cousin #2, I thought he (cousin #1) was joking. The look on my face must have given away my dismay at his suggestion because he then asked me if I was a democrat to which I gave my typical response, "I'm a left leaning independent". He looked at me like I had 2 heads for a moment and then asked if I've ever taken a political test to determine my position. I hadn't and didn't think I needed to. I took a few minutes last night to find and complete 2 such tests. No real surprise in the results.
