I wanted to smack my son in law for even opening his fat mouth to the boys. I’m the family oddball, being a Rep. At least my youngest is onboard for McCain. ;)
From what I've heard, it's open season on son in laws.
In my world, smacking sons, for any reason, ESPECIALLY for being electorally challenged, is acceptable.
You, as an 'oddball', will have massive influence on your offspring even after you've assumed room temperature. My grandparents had no idea.
