What Do I Have To Do?

Despite the fact that I called his (and technically, mine too) country "a bad example", a "terror state", a butcher, an embarrassment, and wrong on every moral issue of the last two centuries, my cousin Joe says he doesn't have much to disagree with.

This leaves three possibilities:
1) My American family has the grace and manners that I lack.
2) I have to redouble my efforts to offend.
3) Joe is actually trying to get asylum here. He is, like most of my family, a Democrat fervent supporter of the President and all his policies. All hail Bush!

(As for the writing "gene" he imputes to me, I credit... my sister, who got me started reading at an early age. Heredity isn't everything, after all!)
