Being thus thrown off my stride even before 5:00 AM, I'll just fall back on an old item from my ya-ha collection ... I don't remember if I've used this one before, but if I have, that's too bad ... it's still funny. And pretty much accurate, as far as I can tell.
How to tell Republicans from Democrats
Democrats buy books that have been banned somewhere.
Republicans form censorship committees and read them as a group.
Democrats give their worn-out clothes to those less fortunate.
Republicans wear theirs.
Democrats name their children after currently popular sports figures, politicians, and entertainers.
Republicans name their children after their parents or grandparents, according to where the money is.
Republicans tend to keep their shades drawn, although there is seldom any reason why they should.
Democrats ought to, but don't.
Republican boys date Democratic girls. They plan to marry Republican girls, but believe that they're entitled to a little fun first.
Democrats make plans and then do something else.
Republicans follow the plans their grandfathers made.
Republicans sleep in twin beds--some even in separate rooms.
That is why there are more Democrats.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI love your work. I am a hack and you are the pro. You have recently become a daily read for me and I have linked you to my new little blog.
Now that I have schmoozed you a bit, what are the chances that you will give me permission to post this there?
