The Feisty One

I think most people assume that I'm the feisty one in our marriage. And, they are probably correct in their assumptions. Kc is WAY more jovial and friendly than I am, that's for dang sure. And I'm becoming less outgoing in my old age. I'm the cynic, questioning everyone's motives. Kc is the optimist, believing and seeing only the good about people.

Except ... when it comes to Newsweek Magazine.

Then, he becomes the feisty, the-whole-world-is-out-to-get-us fanatic and will rant for 20 solid minutes about the liberalism that reeks from that publication.

We aren't sure how we even started getting Newsweek. We don't pay for it. It just arrives every week and causes my sweet-tempered husband to become extremely riled until it reaches the bottom of our trash can.

This week was no exception. Actually. It was the last-straw for him.

Apparently, she wasn't thrilled either with this current week's issue.

Last night, we got the mail, and this issue was in our mailbox.

Kc was fuming. Steaming. Smoke coming out of his ears. He was M.A.D.

And this morning, in my inbox, I received this email from my husband ...

Due to the constant barrage of overtly liberal bias within your magazine, I am cancelling my subscription. While some articles are both compelling and gracious to alternative perspectives and political views, the magazine is awash with leftist propaganda and a general despairing of conservativism. It is always intriguing to hear news from another perspective, but it is nauseating and unwelcome to have a periodical relentlessly lambaste the opinions and beliefs that their writers and editors do not hold… especially when the same writers and editors harangue their opponents with messages of tolerance and bipartisanship.

Please free me from my subscription to this conduit of indoctrination.

I guess this means that we won't be receiving Newsweek anymore. And I guess I go back to being the feisty one in our marriage.
