So..How Did Your Thanksgiving Turn out?
Advertisements [?]
I helped my wife fix the meal and only her brother came over which was all we wanted over. As it turned out..her brother was more than enough as we both wound up in a shouting match about politcs since he is a non-voting Republican and I am a registered Democrat. He somehow believes if he raises his voice to peak level that it somehow makes him win automatically. I feel inclined to yell back and to be honest, I am surprised the cops weren't called to the apartment complex. It all started about gay marriage and of course he HAD to bring it up. He is such a homophobe. He used the same illogic that another used on another message board that if you let the gays get married , then the human's and animals can then get married and that somehow..then..two granny sisters can get married. We then went through the subjects of the mid term elections and the subject of the ACLU and how Rush didn't seek out the ACLU that THEY sought HIM out.(What a twist). Unionization and trial lawyers then came up. My wife was almost in tears as she thinks we were arguing..when we were debating. I have to admit it did spoil the near perfect feast that she and I had made together. As the dinner was indeed to die for. Her brother was in a (censored) mood when he got here. It's a shame too..because other than his politics I really like the guy.
