Hopefully you can see Greg Kinnear deliver that line in your mind after being asked by Meg Ryan's character if his newly found love was a Republican. It is one of numerous comical moments from the movie, You've Got Mail, and I'd wager that more lines are quoted during our family gatherings from that movie than any other. Benjamin, I'm volunteering you to do the leg work on this, and get us an actual statistic to work with. Thanks. :)
Now, all joking aside, there is a reason for my use of this humorous line. Though my blogging days are most certainly in their infancy, I have made a conserted effort to not post anything political in nature. As you're aware, the purpose of this blog is to help motivate us all to be better and do more, not necessarily discuss matters happening back in Washington. However, when I saw this clip, I just couldn't help myself.
What you're about to see (all 16 seconds of it) is Nancy Pelosi in an interview she gave last week. This is a prime example of the doublespeak that is going on in Washington, and just how stupid our elected officials must think we, the American people, are. Unless I'm mistaken, allowing a tax cut to expire would in fact be a tax increase. Wow! Thanks for allowing me my small rant, and I promise to refrain from political talk in the future. (Unless you're interested in more? Let me know.)
Hilarious! And as for me, I say bring on the politics you're amongst friends.
ReplyDeletethe 'tax man' is glad to see you pick up the baton and run with it . . .
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even mind getting the counterpoint from Forsyth in a comment . . .
Bring on the awes...
