What can I say (family)
So we went to visit the family. My husband's parent's are center left, (more like eternal cynics), but his sister... I knew a lot of Regnery crap is bought en mass and given away at conventions. These folks actually BOUGHT the stuff. Now we haven't seen then in five years... thankfully, not only do they live in another state but clear across the pacific, so Thanksgiving ain't gonna be an issue. (Yes they live in Nawaii) We kept to safe subjects... but the Glenny beck talking points...

Even dad said, it ain't no use talking, facts don't matter. So the weather is always safe. Not global weather change, just the weather.

Haggees books with glenny books. You know somebody is RIGHT of Attila when Glenny is sometimes left, and Papa Bear is center...

We behaved... for three hours we behaved. First time in five years we see them... will not for another five years, and that will be another three hours... so yes, I can behave.

3. You are a Hero,
I wouldn't have made it past the first hour without some sort of snide remark, but I know you can't cure stupid with facts.

You did good.

4. We behaved since my father in law asked
And as he said, facts don't make a Witt of a difference.

And we will not see them for another five years. Traveling to Hawaii is not cheap. It takes about five years to put the money away. So I can behav for three hours.
