fred thompson is really starting to get on my nerves.
but this is only one of the lesser examples:Here's Fred: "Harry Reid, though, has taken a different route. He made his statement about General Pace on a conference call with fringe elements of the blogosphere who think we're the bad guys. This is a place where even those who think the 9/11 attacks were an inside job find a home."
Well, I was on that conference call, and based on what I know of the other participants, I suspect they lead much the same kind of life that I do. I never knew I was a "fringe element" in American society, but when I look at a snapshot of my nefarious activities over the last week or so, I know in my heart that Freddie must be right.
Here's just a taste of what this middle-aged, suburban husband and father did to undermine our national values over the past seven days:

Here's just a taste of what this middle-aged, suburban husband and father did to undermine our national values over the past seven days:
- Attended my son's middle-school orientation. He's "graduating" from elementary school this Thursday -- though, oddly enough, exhibiting few signs of being a "fringe element" despite having me for a father -- and on that day, our lunatic activities will center around taking many pictures of him and his friends and going for ice cream afterwards. I personally plan on ordering the Cookies and Communist Crunch.
- Volunteered at a local community clean-up effort to rid our town of the trash spawned by a predominantly-Democratic community that clearly hates America. Went to weenie roast afterwards… Put catsup on my hotdog to show how much I despise American values.
- Went to son's Cub Scout meeting. My wife is the town's Cub Master and spends hours of her time on volunteer activities and team-building with the kids. She's another of the "fringe element" of which Fred Thompson speaks.
- Mowed the lawn. Drank two beers while I did it -- my favorite, Tree-Hugger Pale Ale.
- Took my son to the driving range with me. While we whacked golf balls, we discussed our lack of family values and my little boy stunned me with this question: "Dad, why haven't you been divorced a bunch of times like Fred Thompson and the other Republican presidential candidates?" "Now son," I said. "Senator Thompson's only been divorced once. You're thinking of Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich."
- Celebrated Shabbat on Friday night with wife, son and in-laws. Had nice dinner while planning family vacation and plotting overthrow of Federal government. Had family movie night at home and watched the always-subversive 'Karate Kid' with my son.
- Went shopping for son's birthday presents. Had a hard time deciding between memberships in the ACLU and the Sierra Club or a SpongeBob SquarePants alarm clock.
