travelingirl says on Mar 28, 2008, 22:55:

Ah, I was assuming "bump" meant to bump it over to the Off Topic section and that's what was confusing me since this was already in Off Topic.

Anyway, took me a second to understand what you meant about the dog. Wasn't sure if you were referring to someone being in the Dog House or what. ;) But yes, we've chatted.

I had high hopes for Obama after his stirring speech about bridging the gap between blue and red states 4 years ago. After following that up with voting completely left for 4 years, and then after hearing the rantings of that idiot preacher, I have decided now that he is, actually, a clueless socialist. Hey, I gave him a fair chance. He blew it.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

scotty says on Mar 30, 2008, 22:37:

duck where do you find that stuff...funny!
yea i liked Obama at first but he has lost my vote, Hillary..hmmm, i dont know, Mccain...i just cant get into mccain. i dont like any of them. I am considering regestering as an Independent and then just doing a inny meeny and picking one, i might even close my eyes. or maybe i wont vote at all for the first time in 38 years.
i got bigger problems i dont care who the next prez is, i just want to be alive to see it happen. know what i mean?

Father/daughter talk.


A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?' She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by.
All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.'

Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.'

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!'

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently,
'Welcome to the Republican party.'
