I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats,were standing there, so I asked her,'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents beamed.
'Wow! What a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?' I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.' Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 159 years ago?
California became a state. The State had no electricity. The State had no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically, it was just like California today; except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.

Lol. Thanks for the laugh!
Hey, this is Sami. I hope you don't mind that I found your blog. I've seen you comment on Rylie's blog so I thought I'd take a look.
This post is great! I had a nice laugh. :) It is good to help and to serve people of course but God did not make it mandatory and he definitely didn't say some of you can live off the government and sit on your butts while everyone else is working hard to pay for your idle/lazy-ness. Even so God sent us to this earth to EARN our salvation. Not have it handed to us. That was Satan's plan.
I loved the jokes. It made me think of your Dad. I miss seeing him. Good luck with chemistry. Very ambitious of you.
I love it Whitney! Like you, I'm glad to see people involved.
