4. Before my father died 5 years ago at age 92, he was like that.

Maybe worse.

He'd invite me and my sibs (AARP material as well) out to a meal where he'd literally repeat word-for-word the last thing he heard on FOX News. I'd be biting my tongue. My sister told me not to push back b/c I'd be disinherited.

The bad news is that our father loved us (or not) the same and we were all disinherited and the neighbor across the street got $35,000 in the Will. (They watched FOX together, bless their hearts.) The good news is that Dad didn't bequest any money to the RNC, FOX News, or any Republican.
