A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend an hour ago I would meet him but I don't know where I am."

The woman replied, "You are in a hot air balloon approximately 30 ft above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees North Latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees West Longitude."

"You must be a Republican," said the balloonist. "I am," said the woman, "but how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I still have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."

The woman below responded, "You must be a Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?: "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

One may ask what the Libertarian's stance would have been. We certainly can not leave out the clown princes of politics in this situational comedy!

I believe that the arch Libertarian would have shot the Democrat's balloon down on general principles, and then "accidentally" shoved a cream pie into the face of the Republican while singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and dancing an Irish jig.

He would then file a lawsuit against the merringued Republican for infringing on his right to express himself in public with cullinary acoutrements, and a class action suit against the Democrat for reckless endangerment and depriving him and others of their God Given rights to all of the sunshine that the balloon blocked out as it passed overhead.

In the end, nothing of substance will be accomplished by any of them, because they are ALL attempting to work a system that simply doesn't work.

That's just my best guess though...

Hum....

The King of TFL posts something not related to firearms...

Does that mean that WE can do the same thing? :)

If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
