Phone Call With Mom

What can I say of these people except that they mean well. I think. No, they must, right?

In any case, my mother called today to let me know that she's afraid for me and my kids because, of course, things are looking grim in America. She's stopped watching CNN because she thinks its partial to Obama and now takes her orders from Fox News. She's afraid they'll cut her social security. She admits that she thinks everyone should get health care, but she doesn't like Obama's plan because no one's seen it. Obama is simmultaneously a Nazi and a communist.

I told her that I'm glad there are increasingly less members of her generation left voting because to be quite honest I have no faith in their ability to figure anything out or to make a responsible decision. I, too, am afraid for my children. I'm afraid they will be eaten by their grandparents.
