Made my Republican Sis blanche at the dinner table this evening...
It was at my mother's 75th birthday and Sis was there with her two kids aged nine and eleven.

We were talking about words that were hard to say.

I said, "Who here can say nuclear?"

They chimed "NUCLEAR!"

"Not 'nukular?'" I responded.

"Nooooo! That's silly!"


"Well, you can speak better than the President. He can't say it right." I said and looked across the table at a cold hard stare.

I am such an evil man.

1. Love it.
When my 11 year old makes grammatical errors (chip off the block), I tell him he can still be 'Preznit' one day.

He still corrects me.

8. Too true.
I like to ask him what he knows about **, and when he says something derogatory I ask, "How do you know that?"

"isn't that what you think?"

"Why should you think what I think?"

"Ummm..."

(he knows where this is going)

"No matter what you hear from anyone, no matter how much you trust their intellect... ALWAYS seek confirmation on your own. Your opinions are not your own if they come from someone else."

"OK"

"So is Bush a bad President?"

"I don't know."

"yep, but in my opinion, he's a very bad one."

"Dad!"

6. I wish that was the worst of
bush's sins.

The fact that he's killing Iraqis with Depleted Uranium and put our Soldiers in harms way is the worst one I know about.
