Ok so I'd like to share a very special CEFD - which in this case is Crap Email From My Dad. He is very conservative but reads The Economist religiously and agrees with them on basically everything. So yesterday when they endorsed Obama I was so frickin excited, and I emailed him "The Economist Endorsed Obama!! Have you voted yet? Could they sway you? Love, Mmmmkay" and this is what I got back -

No, neither could the Financial Times, the Frankfurter Algemine or Der Spiegl (the non US media that I read regularly) which I also read and respect. All data is relevant to me. I encourage you and me to seek all data and make our own decisions. I believe I have always done my best to do that with my children and others. I am disappointed that individuals do not seek as much data a from all sides of an issue before they decide.

Maybe it doesn't seem so bad but its just the epitome of my dad's total ass-hole condescending tone when it comes to politics. I just wrote back "Ok, well, I love you" and left it at that.
