On last week's show (11/21) Josh had a talk with his mother Lutie May (sp)
and we are getting a glimpse on why he's such an a**hole.  Apparently,
as a kid he had no mother while growing up and his father was a priest.
He said he needed his father's love but not the spiritual love which all
he got (preached to all the time).  And he alluded to the fact that the
old man BEAT him all the time, he had tears in his eyes and for once he
was really sincere.  he's still a jerk, but i think the writers are going
to justify his behavior by blaming it on his childhood.  After their talk,
Lutie May went to Kathy and apologized, saying that all along she suspected
something wasn't right, etc..  It gave me the feeling that Josh's father
used to beat her, and that's why she left him..
