'We're Gonna Hammer on Them Sons-a-Bitches Until They're All Dead'
My Father Lost His Mind to Fox News and I Had to Watch
Is my father an idiot?
I am not asking that to be mean. I am genuinely curious.
In case you are new to the Wise Wolf and have no idea who I am or why I am mentioning this, some background. My dad had a heart attack last week. My mother called me crying and rambling in that particular way mothers do when they think their husband is about to die. So I borrowed a friend’s car and drove out to my parents’ farmhouse in upstate New York to spend some time with the old man. I figured he might die. I decided to stay a few weeks since I never visit and hate coming here to the middle of nowhere.
I cannot get a decent espresso for fifty miles. The nearest coffee shop closed in 2019. The town has a Dollar General that everyone treats like a Whole Foods. This is where I grew up. This is why I left.
