To be fair, I think any one leaning too far one way or the other (right or left) without any reason or common sense guiding their decisions or feelings tends to be kooky. And I say this even though I tend to be left on most issues, but I always think about things and make up my mind based on what makes sense. Anyhoo, this now infamous aunt of mine also recommended a book to my mom called the Red Sweater or some crap by GLEN BECK!!!!!!!!

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance It's got nothing to do with the heart warming christmas story that Glen Beck has written, it's that my aunt is trying to peddle her crap on my mom. Every phone call there is something else.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I just think it's ridiculous that even though they are sisters who rarely get to talk with each other, my aunt still can't resist taking every opportunity she has to push her political agenda at my mom. And my mom had no idea who Glen Beck even was, so she DID buy the stupid book because she had been wanting to read something new. Then I told her who he was, and she was surprised that she had recommended it to her.

In that instance you're mother should have separated who Glen Beck the person is with the Glen Beck that supposedly wrote a heartwarming Christmas story. Case in point I think Sean Penn is a commuinist. But that doesn't mean I won't see any of his work. He makes a film worth watching even when it's not the greatest(looking in your direction Milk). Eddie Vedder and I would disagree on just about everything. But Pearl Jam remains to this day one of my favorite bands ever.
Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, DAR - I just googled it finally. Wow, yeah, that's just further proof he's crazy. No thanks. I prefer to surround myself with intelligent people who aren't racist bigots.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I'm related to my Aunt Dolly, shes my moms sister. She's a tea-totler because she doesn't care much for coffee. She likes her tea loose leaf, no bags for this lady, although, she has been known to roll her own cigarettes now and then. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure she was around when they drew up the constitution cause he's really OLD. Does that count? ok I think I'll use my Fifth dimension or power of attourney, or whatever that thing is and stop talking now.... Is it too late to plead insanity?
Originally Posted By Sara Tonin It's never too late for you, my dear. My Uncle Woodrow used to roll his own, also...but then they quit letting him smoke unsupervised...to many "small fires" or something like that. You know when I was a kid we didn't even have seat belts in the car, and riding down the road and jumping around in the backseat was so much fun! I feel bad for children nowadays...they're missing out on some real fun! All these new-fangled "safety measures"...whatever happened to survival of the fittest? Daggone whippersnappers!
