A little political humor
Quote: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 take place on a remote frozen lake 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, John 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 another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he
would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came
in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said,
'Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheater! 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 John McCain returns with 50 fish), said to Obama,
'Well, tell me, how is Senator McCain cheating?'
Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's
cutting holes in the ice.'

RE: Experience Counts
In reading our Ohio friend's missive on Obama, note he says KFC. Well obviously he is trying to connote that Obama is black by saying he only knows KFC, hence OUbobcatjohn is a racist.
;.)
Seriously, be prepared to be called racist if Obama wins and you didn't vote for him, and for the whole country to be deemed a racist backwater (except for the educated coasts, of course) if he loses.
