Instead of another depressing rant on how the political class is selling us down the river, I’m offering practical advice this week on how to remain in the wife’s good graces and still get to watch all the football you want on Christmas or New Year’s Day. Many consider lifting your feet so the wife can sweep up dinner crumbs a significant contribution to domestic tranquility, and in lands ruled by Sharia law it is (except no Christmas dinner). But here in the 1st world compromise is required, and it can be accomplished without damaging your self-esteem like doing the dishes or wrapping up the leftovers does.My manly-man suggestion is to volunteer to smoke the holiday turkey, and by “smoke” I don’t mean shooting the bird.
