Spreading the Drinks Around

November 2nd, 2008 · 11 Comments

Yesterday I was at a big Nevada Day party in Carson City.  Prominent among the attendees were Obama supporters sporting buttons, stickers, shirts, and even facepaint.

Every time I saw one of them walked buy with a drink in their hand, I wanted to take it away and drink half.  When they complained, I would helpful explain that my drink was empty, and theirs was full.  My actions were only fair.  They could always get more by going back over to the bar and standing in line.  Besides – they didn’t really need all that beer anyway.

I would just be helping them be neighborly.  Hell – them giving me their beer would be patriotic, according to their VP nominee.

No one who protested – and I think that would be all of them – actually understand what it is they’re voting for.  Frustrating.
