Curt, Thank for that. My Dad kind of does take your advice, he just won't look at an image of Bush, he tries to pretend that Bush doesn't exist.
Yeah, he's a lifelong Democrat, worked on the railroad, (so he is a union guy), fought in a God awful war, (aren't they all), GI bill through college and law school, etc...
The other thing is that we have a dark sense of humor in my family that I fear doesn't translate real well over the 'net sometimes, ie. I always told my Dad that when I die I want one of those smart-ass tombstones that says like: "I told you I was sick, now do you f**king believe me??" (With the boots sticking out of the ground). He says, "No problem, kid. Done deal."
He is actually in remission now, since I feel like you guys are family here is a picture of the old man in happier times, (visiting my brother in South America ~20 years ago):
