Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

The Truth Be Told

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're  30 feet above sea level.  You are at  31 degrees,
14.97 minutes north latitude and     100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

 She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Democrat."

 "I am," replied the man.  "How did you know?"

 "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is 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 repugican."

 "I am," replied the balloonist.  "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're 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,  then you expect me to solve your problem.  You're in the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it's my fault."
