Up For Adoption

Sometimes I have to question my elders, my mother in particular.

This morning she said to me, and I kid you not, that she actually believes Rosie O'Donnell's opinion that 9/11 was an inside job.

I swear, my own mother! I almost hung up on her.

When you consider that my mother and step-father are partially responsible for my conservative politics (the other part being that I actually grew up and got out of the cloistered college environment), this comes as quite a shock for me.

Why, the woman sounds as if she's poised to pull the lever for Obama in November!

*sigh*

I guess it can't be helped, but I do get a bit tired of my mother blasting me a new one because Husband is thinking about buying a Toyota. What's next? Will she disrespect her own son-in-law's military service?
