I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am,"replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault"
First of all, congratulations on getting into the club. I abstain from politics due to apathy, but I have much respect for those who do involve themselves.

Secondly, I don't find your quote from the bulletin board humorous, rather it reads like a joke from a first grader who's parents are far right as you can take yourself. The man says at the end, "... somehow, now it's my fault". Where exactly does the woman say anything about it being his fault that she is lost? The joke tries to assume that any democrat who gets in a hot air balloon will not have a way of navigating themselves. I know, I know... it's supposed to be a channel to get a point across, but damn this is terrible. The part that reads, "You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep"; Does that not apply to every politician?
