So, just called Mom. She's not sure whether she wants to vote, but she said there was no way in Hell either she or Dad would vote for Bush. Yay! I come from a good gene pool! (We had a mutual bitchfest about the war, and she told me a kid who was in seventh grade at my school when I graduated died over in Iraq. *growls in general direction of the White House*)

She also said my brother's going to vote later. Yay! Bryan's voting! He's actually leaving his chair in front of the Playstation and going to vote! *happy dance*

Sometimes, my family is very, very cool. :)

Wanna switch parents?

Not today, I don't. I actually thanked her for not liking Bush, which is what led to us both calling him an asshole for a full minute. :)

Aww, that kind of family bonding is so sweet - so different from me and/or my father getting so infuriated with each other we walk out on dinners, etc.

My mum is a bit of a...well, she doesn't...um, she's not good with The Big Picture. She listens to my dad and reads mostly right wing things and believes it because it was written THERE, and god forbid she pick up a different newspaper - ! But if I sit and talk to her and explain things and refrain from saying the name "Michael Moore", she conceeds a lot of points where she would normally go "pah!" and give no reason for the "Pah!'ing". Either way, she's not registered as an expat in this country yet and it's safer if she's not, so that's fine.

And yes, he is a MASSIVE asshole. They keep doing all these programs here on fundamentalist christian freaks and Bush is, of course, always popping up and his niggling annoying cloying little voice... *sees red*
