Why Our Country is in Trouble (eye rolling humor)

email

[Kimmers]

I received this in an email today and thought it worth sharing. I did a Snopes search and found nothing. Of course I do not know if any of this is true but it is a fun read.

If you have received this as email numerous times before I don't want to hear about it....just move on. thank you

GO COLTS !!!!!!!!!!

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Very funny ... thanks for posting.

Go Saints!

The saddest thing is the fact that every one of them has the potential of being true.

[Kimmers]

I would love to see a Colts/Chicago super bowl.....However,how sweet it would be for the Saints to go all the way.....such a tender moment. Last year they were a team that was homeless and now look how well they are doing....It says a lot about the coaching staff and the character of team to pull this off. I admire them.

GO COLTS !!!!!!

[Kimmers]

I know, I was thinking the same thing.

[BlueOneGolf]

Funny stuff!

[cripplecreek]

I talk to people on the street and I know just how brain dead some of them are. Worse yet is the fact that the more highly educated they are, the less sense they seem to have.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

The most laughable part of this story is the idea of a Senator or Congressman making reservations for themselves.

Well, I did find a Snopes comment on it:

I still think it's hilarious and quite believable anyway so I'm glad you posted it.

I can't find anything on Snopes claiming the Colts aren't going to win so I'm with you on that!

I can believe this. I go to Orlando every year and people are always asking me about the beach there.

[cripplecreek]

Considering that congressmen are commenting on the Klingons in the white house and the astronauts on mars, it's quite believable.

[Cagey]

LOL, very true. Sometimes I think most of our Congress is from Mars.

OMGosh.....My father was a dairy farmer in Minnesota. When he went to a milk producers meeting in Dallas back in the 60's he was asked if we still had trouble with the Indians on the prairie....stupidity runs throughout history

[Past Your Eyes]

It's been around quite a while.

I suppose since the Colts have Adam Vinatieri, they might stand a chance.

I was at the airport in Atlanta a few weeks ago waiting for a connecting flight. As I glanced at the monitors that displayed all the connecting flight information in alphabetical order, a woman next to me turned to her companion and said "Damn, I hope we didn't miss the flight, Vegas isn't listed." I then heard her mention places like Washington, DC and other locales at the end of the alphabet. I explained to her that Vegas is listed under L. She said to me "Why would they do that?" To confuse people? LOL!

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I have lived in Louisiana for years and in the South for almost my entire life ... yet have never been a Saints fan until this year (even though I know Duece McAllister). I have absolutely no use for New Orleans as a city, but the Saints have really touched a chord with me this season!

[wku man]

This is getting forwarded to everyone I know! Good stuff, but very, very sad...

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

We live hear in IN and my 18 yo son cannot figure out why no one has pointed out that Drew Brees plays better in black and gold....they were his college colors too (Purdue)

[garyhope]

God bless Snopes. I check "true stories" on Snopes all the time.

Even though Snopes is "right" on this little email, it's not too far fetched for me to believe that many if not most of our dear elected officials are downright stupid or totally lacking in common sense and/or patriotism.

Heck, you can even forget the patriotism and substitute plain ole survival of self or nation.

I hate to get serious on a humorous thread but I will for a moment. I think the main reason our Country is in trouble is exactly as you say. We used to have Statesmen representing us in Congress and I'm afraid those days are gone. We could probably count on one hand the number of true Statesmen in Government.
