I would like to second what Michael said about keeping politics and work separate. In fact, I would even go further to say that I also keep my personal (including politics) and work life separate. However, I do have coworkers who have the picture of George Bush on their desk, and others who are die hard Democrats.

Looks like Ken and Michael have said it all.

My issue is that Mr. Feuerstein is completely insincere. I think it is obvious that he views President Bush with contempt, and considers this merely an opportunity to promote and vindicate that contempt. It is not a genuine desire to neither confirm nor verify what the media says about the President.

That being said, I believe most adults know that the image we get from the media is an embellishment of a politician's true character. If Mr. Feuerstein puts that much stock in what the media tells him, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell.

Two thoughts...

First, from a 16 year old this would be cute. From a college student interested in politics it would be aggressive and interesting. From a relative of a soldier killed in Iraq it would be mawkish. From a grown adult with no such claim on the president's time it's just self centered and pathetic.

Second, I keep my politics and my work separate and I think Steve should as well. He wants to have his site, fine. But he shouldn't be publicizing his political grandstanding in a way that links back to him. Only my closest friends at work know my politics.

I have never known a technical expert as explicit and public in his/her political views as Steven. I guess pure technical (geek) people can also have political views as strong as their technical expertise :)

I never thought I'd say this, but for once I find myself sympathising with Mr Bush.
