I'm a little surprised she wrote this column. Why? Her siblings do seem almost abnormaly normal. I initially felt the same way. Then I realized that she wanted sympathy from the Leftist masses for having to endure such incredibly stupid relatives. Imagine--they even believe in God! The poor, poor girl.

Dowd the Delusional needs to resign from the Slimes and be replaced by her brother. It's obvious from his e-mail he could do better columns in an hour or so over the weekend than half baked Dowd could with a month long head start. Indeed, Kevin evidently got the brains in the family. I wonder who got the looks and personality? And, if this smug, bitter harpy was in my family, I'd rub her nose in it as often as possible, too.

I wonder if Maureen's brother is a FReeper? Any guesses on what his screen name would be?

It's more like she wants everyone to know what a free thinker she is and how all of her thoughts are her own. She's such a rebel.

Ugh. Does anyone else think she tries too hard to come up with clever titles for these articles? And fails miserably every time.
I really think she aims to be the Coulter of the left.
with my mom's potato stuffing
WTF is potato stuffing? My guess, is she is 40 something years old and never even been in the kitchen. Never had anyone to cook for.

David Sedaris is a writer of humor. He's actually pretty funny but you have to overlook a lot: he's openly gay and lives with his boyfriend in France and used to do occasional commentaries on NPR. In his book ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY, he described his mother's hobbies as 'smoking and napping'.

or go off and read a book by David Sedaris about normal family life."Those who have read any of David Sedaris' work at all know that he's openly and happily gay."

Now, how did I know that he is gay?
To: Paul Atreides
I have never heard of Sedaris, but, if The Dowdy One likes him, I get an idea of what he considers a "normal family life."David Sedaris is an author who often writes about his very bizarre family life. He's very funny, but very "blue state." His sister, Amy, is also hilarious -- she starred in "Strangers with Candy" on Comedy Central. Very weird but funny.

Yes!!! Her brother Kevin rules!!!!!!!!
The guy's a great writer and should be working for the GOP. And the rest of her family sounds very normal. How could they possibly get along with her?

Does The Dowdy One emulate any men who are straight?
To: Cicero
Ann Coulter is smarter than you are. Better looking, too. And I'll bet she's more fun to be with on Thanksgiving.
You got that right!

Maureen needs to trade in her battery operated lover for a Christian Conservative man whom will make her obey (of course also loves the Lord). That is her problem.

I wonder if Maureen's brother is a FReeper? *snicker* I wondered that too.
If he is we will never know. There are some family skeletons that you pray never come out of the closet.

It's lovely - if you enjoy hearing about how brilliant Ann Coulter is, how misguided The New York Times's editorial page is, and how valiant the President is as he tries to stop America's slide into paganism.O, so it IS lovely.

Even for the rest of the family, it must cause them physical pain to see her asinine, vapid columns run in a major newspaper.I thought she wrote for the NY Times.
To: Pokey78
...a book by David Sedaris about normal family life.No such thing, even if she meant it ironically.
