Another topic about my dad's political ramblings.
He recently said (and argued vehemently) that Sarah Palin is someone he would vote for in a heartbeat because she is so much better than Obama. Also, military spending needs to be increased and the only problem (the ONLY problem) with the Bush administration was the leniency on the Mexican border.

Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
I find this to be deeply meaningful rhetoric and I am thrilled to have read it. It is such an honor that you deigned to post the teachings of such a wise and wonderful man on the internet. I know now where you get your charm, your grace, that je ne sais quoi... Also, Happy International Sarcasm Day.
[I was just looking for the perfect place to stretch my sarcastic muscles. Thank you (sincerely) for providing me with an outlet.]
Next time I sense a political rant coming on I'll be sure to record it so you can hear the words that come out of this man's mouth.
