I'm not going to defend my posting it without attribution. I have no idea where it came from originally.

No, I didn't write it. Hope that clears it up.

Continue on with deflecting!

The young lady still belongs in the Democratic party. She saw the opportunity to provide a job to someone who needed it rather than seeing the opportunities being limited to cronies.

No hard feeling, Murray. Welcome to PC. I just get so sick and tired of receiving chit like that from my mother-in-law by email, most of which she forwards thinking that it is actually a true story. I mistakenly thought you were similarly afflicted. My apologies. Carry on.

Yeah, can't be giving some menial job to a white hobo begging over at Seven Eleven. After all they must be Democrats or lazy liberals otherwise they wouldn't be in such desperate straits...sure is refreshing to have another Republican making fun of the less fortunate. Angry? Naw. Disapointed? Naw. You just don't know any better until it's a family member or friend of yours who's been beggared by the crazy Randians infesting the Republican party.
Palm Springs?

Here's an actual, original story. My neighbor across the street is a small business owner, he owns a moblie mechanical repair business. The guy next door to him is an ex-convict with a storied and violent past, "Joe"....whom no one will hire, even in the best of times. He invaded the home of an 80+ year old man, beat him nearly to death, stole a little money and the guys deceased wifes jewelry. Then took the old mans car keys and took off in the stolen car. He did 15 years for that. He had prior convictions for violent behavior.

One day the three of us were having a nice conversation when Grady, the Republican business owner, started telling the criminal psychopath, Joe; "Man, I'd give you a job in a minute, but I can't 'cuz that fuckin' Obama has my hands tied.", to which I commented, trying to hide my sarcasm; "Oh, I know you would and it's a damn shame you can't."

Grady shot me a look that told me he knew I was being sarcastic.

Earlier this summer, I saw Grady painting his logo on a brand new van.

I strolled over and asked, "New van?"

"Yep, this is number three, man."

"Cool. So, you've hired another mechanic."

"Yep, starts Monday."

"Joe"

"Joe? Hell, no. I'm not hiring that whackjob."

Apparently he didn't recall the prior conversation. Or, maybe he did, I dunno.

I just left it alone.

But, he's full of shit. Most of them are.

Oh snap!

I found the joke over at one of the auto web sites yesterday and didn't spend the entire weekend researching it, lol. I got a good chuckle out of it and thought it would be a big hit over here.

Waiting for more angry replies.

Can you blame us? We're all angry black people like Obama! See my "niggerize" thread, note I use the "N" word as an adverb nowt as a pronoun or some such.
