C'est NUL, ca.


It's so sad to find how and where your conservative ("but not right wing") parents syphon their worldview from... My dad has been talking about Hillary clubbing baby seals, and I finally googled the words verbatim.

Monica Crawley explains:
"Can the junior senator from New York now beat the junior senator from Illinois? Barack Obama's signature campaign line—"Yes, We Can!"—was delivered with a little less gusto last week. Hillary Clinton —aglow with primary wins that gave her candidacy a stay of execution—co-opted it for herself: "Yes, We Will!"
But will she? Can she? First, in order to win, she has to club the baby seal to death. Now that she's got some electoral momentum, she must bring Obama low. She must attack him on every front: preparedness; policy inconsistencies; his association with Tony Rezko and Louis Farrakhan, among others; his commitment to Israel."

How fascinating.

My father has become titillated by a blond bombshell with a conservative dictionary and a sharp-shooter tongue. I'll try to watch my words here, but her biography says:

"Monica holds two Masters degrees and a Ph.D. in international affairs from Columbia University and worked as a Foreign Policy Assistant to former President Richard Nixon from 1990 until his death in 1994. Crowley's experience with Nixon prompted her to write two best-selling books, Nixon off the Record: His Candid Commentary on People and Politics and Nixon in Winter."


Wow... working under Fox News, some plagiarism in her written work, and sexing herself up Ann Coulter style, what's not to love? What's not to take seriously?

Luckily, both my parents brought me up listening to John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou.
