I'm heading up to Northeast Texas for Christmas with my family, including my Bill O'Reilly-loving father and uncle. After a couple of glasses of wine, they both like to bring up my ties to the ACLU (I was on the Board in Houston) and how stupid liberals are.
I am so glad I'm not the only one. I, too, want to remind my father that he raised an intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful, critical thinker daughter who fulfilled his unfulfilled dream of becoming a lawyer. Not my conservative brothers, me. That smart, liberal girl (as I was known in law school).
And I'm 43, Wil. It doesn't get that much better. But we love them, don't we?
