My dad just gave his first EVER political contribution at eighty-five years of age.

A twenty-dollar check to Joe Biden. And yes, he pit it in an envelope and mailed it in. I NEVER thought I would live to see this wonderful, but tight, man want anyone to win badly enough to give money.

Hell must be freezing right now.
