The Balloonist
 
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
 her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
 
'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an
 hour ago, but I don't know where I am.'
 
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, 'You are in a
 hot air balloon, approximately 30
 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north 
latitude
 and 00 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.'
 
She rolled her eyes and said, 'You must be a Republican.'
 
'I am,' replied the man. 'How did you know?'
 
'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you told me is
 probably technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your
 information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to 
me.'
 
The man smiled and responded, 'You must be a Democrat.'
 
'I am,' replied the balloonist. 'How did you know?'
 
'Well,' said the man, 'You don't know where you are or where you
 are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of
 hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you
 expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you
 were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault.'

So true. We tell them how to solve a problem and they are unable - or unwilling - to carry out the necessary action.

Drill for oil!!!

Would any of you kill the goose that lays golden eggs so your constituents could eat if it deprived you of reelection funds?
