47. I divide them into
Thu Jul 3, 2025, 04:34 PM
Jul 3

Republicans and right-wingers. The former are Bill and Betty Null of Ottumwa, Iowa. They watch only locsl news at 5 p.m. and Big Three news at 5:30 before switching to "Wheel of Fortune," their favorite show of all time. Bill has political opinions, but they're rather meek, and he never discusses them with anyone but Betty once in awhile. Betty just says "Uh-huh" without looking up from her knitting. They might vote, but Tuesdays have been their canasta nights for 17 years, and Betty always takes hotdish and a Jell-O mold, so thete might not be time.

Right-wingers, otoh, are the most vile, despicable creatures ever produced in the universe. You've probably heard of some of them. Everybody hates them except other right-wingers, and Bill and Betty Null of Ottumwa, Iowa,who aren't familiar with them.
