In a local Leesburg restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
Poster Comment: The same friend sent me the cartoon and that little story about the mentally handicapped server in a restaurant wearing political bs that he should have known would offend people and thus cost the people he worked for money (not to mention the tips he would lose from the pissed off people he waited on). I have no use for Obama or McCain but thought the cartoon and that little story were worthy of posting.

Great cartoon. Diane Sawyer Touts More Taxes for 'Disproportionately Advantaged' newsbusters.org/blogs/sco.../diane-sawyer-touts-more- taxes-disproportionately-advantaged
Diane Sawyer--another communist "news reader." That is about all that can be expected of them.
It's their haughty tone I love the most./s
Yeah, I know what you mean. Their news reading almost always brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my glass eye. Guess that is why I don't watch TV very much.
