Always Up For A Good Partisan

So we all know by now that Osama bin Laden is dead. Some Navy SEALS blew up his crib and shot him in the face. Sure, that brings some justice to the attacks he orchestrated against the United States, but I don't see how it can bring peace to those who lost loved ones during those times. Everyone has their own opinion (including myself) of how they think things could have been done better/quicker/more efficiently/smarter...whatever. But the bottom line is that bin Laden can no longer mastermind any other attack against the world. The best way to deal with the past is to learn from it and apply what we learn to our future. Retrospect is always 20/20, and no matter which way we roll the dice, there will always be a shoulda-woulda-coulda.

Even President Obama openly recognized the differences in political opinion in this matter, and so in an effort to bring a little light-heartedness to such a heavy situation, I thought I would leave you with a little joke about politics and religion.....

A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?" The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, honey! How's about gettin' me a cold glass of Miller Light?" He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?" The waitress once more nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold glass of beer. "On my bill," he said.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.

Jesus also passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.

Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me...I'm collecting disability."
