Born in 1959 to a mother of 6, I became the 7th child of Dorothy Jean Emerson and Charles Wilkinson, Jr. Eventually, the number of children my father sired would reach a grand total of 12. Hand-me-downs were looked forward to and good meals were rare. Poor would have been considered an unobtainable step-up when our financial "class" was charted. I never accepted that being financially disadvantaged was my lot in life. I took it as a challenge to better myself and my family. While I was not born in Kenya, I do believe I could have been President if I had the political aspirations - luckily for my family and the world, I did not.
As an acerbic conservative, along the lines of a Dennis Miller type of humor, there are many times that I will test your outlook on damn near everything. As the only tested genius in my family (not including my progeny of course), I have recently started my slow descent into the humorless world of political discourse. My fiscal conservative bent is well balanced by my Libertarian social leanings. Nobody and nothing is "safe" once I direct my laser-beam, straight-shooting, no holds barred, linguistic lambasting at any subject. If I can make you laugh, so be it. But if you want to cry - check yourself at the door, because it won't get any easier once I see your weakness! I have been called a lot of things, by many people, and 'funny' is my favorite!
