Oh my god, this is brilliant. Even though I knew how wonderfully you write "Stephen," I was skeptical that anyone could believably write FabulouslyLiberal!"Stephen," that I would even be able to recognize "Stephen" in him, but somehow you made him both outrageously, hilariously liberal and as utterly "Stephen"-like as ever. It would have been easy, I think, to write "Stephen"'s liberalness as rigidly ideological as his conservativeness, but you managed to write his liberalness as the overly open-minded and thereby also stubbornly ideological kind, if that makes sense, and it seems to me that writing that would be much harder.
