Mornin'.
Father-Daughter Talk
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like many others her age she considered herself to be a liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth.
She felt ashamed that her father was a staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs --- his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. Based on lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
The self professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.
He stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and that it was tough to maintain. She was taking a more difficult curriculum. She studied all the time, did not go out and party like other people she knew.
She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Mary doing?"
She replied, "Mary is barely getting by." She continued, "She barely has a 2.0 GPA even though all she takes are easy classes --- she never studies. But Mary is very popular, college for her is a blast, she goes to parties all the time."
Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter visibly shocked by her father's suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked!"
The father smiled and said”
"Welcome to the Republican Party"

Two great looking kitties there.
Don't let them out at night: the coyotes got our last two cats which were indoor/outdoor critters.
Yoda, stalker of grass and leaves?
We had the radio on here, that's how I found out.

Someone said tome that last night at3 AM they were waiting for the mountain to go 'Boom'.
I'm going to check into that in a minute, but if true -what can you add or clarify about it at all?
US Geological guy said that they lost the monitoring equipment on the mountain last night, but that, yes, it could blow at any time...
It's a Lance Armstrong testicular cancer bracelet.
Kerry admires Lance as Armstrong has more balls than him...
