Yes, Jerry, but when it comes to being generous with OTHER people's money, liberal Democrats take the lead! And after all, it is there intentions that matter, not the bottom line on their tax return or the net good actually done for the needy. Kind of like Al Gore and the environment -- his proposed environmental regulations are clearly INTENDED to serve the greater good, so hey, I guess we can cut him a break on his heated pools and private jets. Too bad that he failed out of divinity school and is generally clueless about carbon chemistry in general and environmental CO2 in particular, but again, intentions matter. I seem to remember his first book, "Earth in the Balance" where he says that the internal combustion engine was the greatest threat to the earth. Hmmm, I wonder where he stands on the Detroit bail out thing. You think he might be happy, or should he check with the UAW before celebrating?
BTW, how is global warming working out for you down in TX this winter? The last two days have seen (gasp) below freezing temps in Columbia. I think maybe I need to shoot my CO2 rifles some more.
It would be interesting to see the ratio of charitable giving vs. political contributions on a liberal vs. conservative scale. Perhaps the favorite "charity" of the liberals is the DNC, because of the good work they do. Reminds me to give some more to one of my favorite "charities" -- the NRA, because of the good work they do, too, and a couple of others.
Merry Christmas, Bro.
