But then I'd have to go through Janesville -- home of the relatives that I'm actively avoiding.
Because they gather around a statue and sing?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ann, that's a ferret.

Long story, which is basically that they (1) hold different political views than I do, (2) insist on talking about politics, and (3) cannot stop berating anyone with different political views.
Imagine having Ann Coulter for a mother and Rush Limbaugh for a first cousin, and you get the idea.

Good gods, we're related to the same people.
My FiL starts the day with Laura Ingraham, moves onto Rush Limbaugh, with liberal (hah!) does of FoxNews sprinkled in between. Everything, including the price of eggs, is a Vast Leftwing Conspiracy.
And right now I'm living in his house. I'm surprised no one at the F2F remarked on the bruises I have on my forehead from hitting. my. head. against. the. wall.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Maybe making it a Halloween weekend thing, if Kate wants to do it.
Hmmmm.

Aieeee. Creepy-as-fuck town.

My parents are so far in denial about the world it hurts. My mom has been recommending to my niece and her step brother that they go into the Army for training and money for college. Mom didn't believe it when I told her that was pretty much sending them directly into the war in Iraq. She honestly thought the military would just train them and give them money for college.

Wow.
...she really hasn't made that 'Join the army, travel the world, meet interesting people and kill them' connection? Wow.
