Mom is fully on board
Despite my impassioned pleas to the contrary, my mother voted for chimpy in 2000. Four years later- she has been transformed into a Kerry voter, and an impassioned chimpy hater herself. I stopped by last Friday to visit. First she told me about arguing with my aunt Barbara the day before. Barbara, while a genuinely kind human being, is a regular contributor to Oral Roberts, and one of those scary * supporters whose world view is based on Bible prophecy. Mom said she made a scene at a local restaurant when she yelled at her in frustration over *'s dismal record. THEN, she made me watch a 60 Minutes episode she had saved about an environmental disaster in West Virginia/Kentucky that *'s administration had covered up. Don't get me wrong- I loved the old girl before she saw the light- but I am especially delighted to see her new found political awareness.
So there you have it- George Bush IS good for bringing families closer together.

2. Congratulations, they say sharing a passion is what keeps relationships
going, how nice your's is hating Chimpy. Not only is it fun, it's good for the country. I am filled with happiness for you as well as envy, but in a good way.

3. No disrespect to your aunt Barara, but does she know that
Oral Roberts went bugshit when he found out what his parents were considering as an alternative to the name Oral?
