Things my younger brother "knows"

My younger brother is a dyed-in-the-wool ditto head. Here are some things he knows for certain:
Sid Blumenthal started the Obama birth controversy.
All of the debate moderators have contributed to Hillary's campaign, including Chris Wallace.
25 of people around the Clintons have died from car bomb explosions.

My brother is absolutely sure of these things.

He bloviated for almost an hour to me last night. I let it go in one ear and out the other.

It must make family visits awkward.

Does he live in a Red or Blue State, meaning, will his vote matter? Actually, will he vote?

I'm in New York. The only real excitement here will be some state and local races. The national results, though, will be intense.

Do you have to cut his food for him, since he obviously shouldn't be allowed to operate anything sharper than an orange?
