my dad's choice for president

My dad is truly adorable. He's a straight, white, 60-something Air Force vet. He's a trustee and a deacon in the Mennonite church. He's a big old fuddy-duddy.

And he's caucusing for Bill Richardson because, among other reasons, he's the only candidate supporting transgender-inclusive employment non-discrimination policies.

Huh.

That is quite cute and so much more normal than 1703.

I on the otherhand walked into my parent's house to find my father reading an Ann Coulter Book. What is wrong with him?

Does he not understand she's an incarnation of Satan??

Apparently, no he doesn't. He finds her funny. I explained to him that people who make fun of dead teen-age children and call people fagots are NOT funny.

At least he didn't *buy* the book and got it from the library.

We haven't talked about it (politics being a sore spot with us) but I suspect my parents are supporting Ron Paul. Sigh...
