Redistributing the Wealth in Application

DOES ANYONE SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??

This morning while checking my email I received a post from one of my meetup groups that I have to share. As I read her comments I giggled to myself as I read her words. I got her permission to share and the comments below are verbatim. I think I will try this at my next outing...


Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign the read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie, again I laughed--just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside.

The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

Wake Up People!

ROLL TIDE!!!

Ok, so I've never really been a College Football Fan until this year. Where have I been all my life? I have been watching the Bears lose year after year give or take a few wins...BUT college ball has so much more to offer! The action is way better and the plays are UNREAL! I am watching Alabama beat Tennessee and although I live in TN I have picked Alabama as my new favorite college team. I especially like a quarterback who has three names! Who goes by three names besides serial killers? The picture of Bama's quarterback is such a sweet one. I mean this kid looks like he is 12 but this season he gets the job done. ROLL TIDE!!!!

Are you Ready?

This is my first post so I guess that makes me a newbie. I don't know about you but as much as I enjoy politics, I can not wait until this election is over with. I know many people will be too. It is interesting to me the level of excitement and passion on both sides of the race. I could really get on my soap box but since this is my first post I think I will keep it nice and easy. As I prepare to end my day, my prayer is that everyone gets out to vote their conscience. We all have the duty and responsibility to check out what each candidate stands for and vote the candidate that is most aligned with our own set of moral standards. Nowadays, with the Internet such a part of everyone's life, there really is no excuse to not be informed. Are you Ready?
