I want to thank all of you that were here last night for the updates. I am a wimp and can only see election results through the filter of Free Republic unless it’s a sure thing for our side. I am now exhausted after staying up so late, but it was well worth it. I woke up this morning with a huge smile on my face knowing the unions didn’t win this time and I was very proud of the people of Wisconsin.

I am truly lucky in that respect — my entire family is staunch conservative.

Damn....you are lucky. I wouldn't know how to behave .. LOL

It's a bit tough being the odd man out in a large family, but I'm used to it. I've followed my own compass since I was a young kid, and never was one to go with the flow.

My family learned to expect that of me, but when I became staunchly conservative and (gasp!) Republican, they damn near disowned me.

All that really matters to me, is where my wife and kids' heads are at. They're all fiercely patriotic, and conservative. Even my 7 year old can't stand Obama, and if you ask him, he'll tell you why.

Here are our two cats. Our dog likes to follow and sniff their hair and they don't care. I think the dog thought the skunk was just another cat.
