While I'm not happy that Dad tried to raise me as a super-conservative-miserable-beer-drinking-Republican nutter like he is, I'm extremely glad that he raised me as a smartass. Otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to do on this fine Saturday night Sunday morning.

And by the way, Dad has a neat little name for people who sit around on the Internet late at night quoting their mothers and MOOing at people who happen to disagree with their opinions, which they state as fact and unalterable truth, and make up things that were never in the original post to accuse the OPer of.

Dad calls them "dull people who lack direction."

I think it certainly fits in this case.
