I am going to visit my freeper uncle tomorrow.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8449894

I am going to help him clean up his PC. He was here to visit last week, and wants to clean up old stuff, like old emails and documents. It became apparent to me he doesn't know how to Delete! Oh my!

I showed him how to delete an email, then he thought he could make more space by deleting "color". Oh dear! That's when I said, I'll pick up a pizza next week and come over.

He is a freeper to the worst degree, and a racist. We can never discuss politics, because he gets so worked up and ridiculous. We just agree to avoid the topic.

He's not a malicious person. He's just very uneducated, and frankly, dumb. That is just the way he is, and is too damned old to change his ways now. But he's got a heart of gold, and there is no malice in his heart where family is concerned. He has a gay son dying of AIDS, and while it was difficult for him to accept, he never once considered to abandon his son. Even through our difficulties, he's helped me through a couple pickles too.

I love him dearly, and he does me too. We just can't discuss politics.

7. Hey, if you mean what I think. A couple Tbls of pumpkin every day.
That's what my vet told me.

Can't trade mine, sorry. He's getting old now, but he's MY pain in the butt. He's been such a good pooch, and I will see him through to the end now.

4. Why not make him a present? Here's a nice craft idea:
You need:

a used paperback copy of The Communist Manifesto
the dust jacket from a book he would like -- something by ann coulter, say
razor blade
glue

How to proceed:

Use the razor blade to remove all front and back matter from the paperback
Carefully cut the dust jacket into pieces
You need one piece for the front of the paperback and another for the back
The piece on the front need not have a title but should show the author's name or picture
The piece for the back should include at least one rave review by a noted rightwinger
Carefully glue the dustjacket pieces onto the cover of the paperback

For an extra-nice touch attach a small white sticker to the back of your artwork
Write: "Irregular. 50% off" on the sticker

6. Sometimes politics doesn't matter
it is person behind it who does.
