A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

That's kinda funny...but I have heard it the other way around before. Damn republicans always gotta twist things around to their favor.

That's classic. And TRUE! LOL Sorry Shaggy - that story would make absolutely NO SENSE the other way around.

Shaggy,
The vast majority of liberals I know of are quick to jump to blame rather than to provide remedial solutions. And when they do attempt solutions it's usually to make something that's already illegal more illegal and more difficult/costly to enforce or to remove a freedom that's explicitly implied [] in the 9th ammendment to our constitution.
