I got this email recently and since everyone is so sensitive about me trying to “brainwash” them about the evils of Barack Obama, my blog will see a lot more forwards in the days to come:
In a local restaurant my server had on a ‘Obama 08′ neck tie. I laughed
as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the
coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him
that I was exploring the Obama Redistribution of Wealth Concept. He
stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to
redistribute his tip to someone whom I deemed more in need–the
homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the
server inside, as I’d decided he could use the money more. The homeless
guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific Socialistic Redistribution
experiment, I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he
did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the
money that he did earn, even though the actual recipient needed the
money more.
I guess this Redistribution of Wealth is an easier thing to swallow in
concept than in practical application.
a better lesson that would have gotten your point across yet saved the waiter the evil thoughts toward you would be giving him half his tip and the other half to the homeless guy. that would be socialism.
Case in point about the sensitivity about Mr. Si Se Puede.
Regardless of how you define it, its a metaphor to make a point of what Obama has SAID he will do, he’s not trying to hide the fact that he wants to play Robin Hood. Although I, for one, have no desire to see him in green tights. Blech.
would you like to see me in green tights? or mccain? any way you cut the green tights, it is SCARY.
jill I have seen you in tights, CATS ring a bell? I have to say I’d much rather see you than either of those dudes. Haha.
i think our friendship is over…i mean, really? you had to bring cats into this. at least they weren’t green. they were flesh colored.
LOLOL! Oh Jill you know you looked smokin hott. Besides I think a lot of us were trying very hard NOT to look at the boys in those tights… whew!
