Bartender Story
A Democrat walks into a bar and flashes a wad of bills around. He swaggers up to the bartender and says "drinks all around, except for the Republican over there". To his surprise the Republican says "thank you". Thinking that maybe he didn't hear that remark correctly he waits until everyone has finished his drink and yells "drinks all around, except for the Republican over there". again, the Republican says "thank you". So he says to the bartender "how come that stupid Republican keeps thanking me for not buying him drinks"? "Because" the bartender responds "he owns the place and you're buying for everyone else".

Thought for the Day

The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
