Lighten up...

I was dismayed to hear one of the news anchors yesterday say that whenever she says something negative about Barack she gets tons of e-mails, but barely any when something negative is said about JMac.

The cynic in me wants to say that it must be simply a matter of people protesting falsehoods and not the truth, but that probably isn't ALWAYS the case. :-)

It is definitely time to lighten up, Obamaniacs.

Barack is a United States Senator, and he is legitimately a target for criticism from his opponents. He's not a saint, nor a messiah, not even Mother Theresa or Ghandi.

He also has a great sense of humor. That being said, I have finally received a great joke about our man. Thanks to the local Fire Chief, Scotty Dozier, for sending it to me. Sadly, the prior joke I got from the FD, from his Admin Assistant, Robbie Rubio, was hysterical, but not suitable for printing here on a famous liberal/progressive blog.

A classic…

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican
candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There
was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a
week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things.

The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest
between the two candidates to determine the winner. After much of back
and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest would take place on a
frozen lake in Merrifield in northern Minnesota .

There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out
separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch,
for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.

At the end of the first day, McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, Obama returned and had no fish.

Well, everyone assumed he was just having a 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day, McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came
in again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said,
“Barack, I think McCain is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see
just how he is cheating.”

The next night (after McCain returns with 50 fish- breaking all fishing laws, btw), Reid said to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is McCain cheating?'

Obama replied, “Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting
holes in the ice.”
