A divided country

Monday, October 25, 2004

It's a widely-known fact that, as election day approaches, our country is deeply divided. In addition to my wife voting for Bush and I'm voting for Kerry, my mom took a poll in the family and found that:

My mom, 64, former teacher and now a hair stylist, is voting for Bush.


My grandfather, 95, a former government official and book publisher, is voting for Kerry. When asked why, he, a man of few words, said, "There is no end to this war."

My sister. 37, a bank manager living in Republican stronghold otherwise known as the O.C., is voting for Bush. No surprise there.

My brother Harry, 34, a physician-to-be, is voting for Kerry.

My brother Dennis, 33, is voting for Bush.

If anyone is keeping score, it's 4 to 3, Bush over Kerry.

Here is my spin: the three acknowledged wise men in my family are voting for Kerry.
