AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes
AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom.... You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.

Saturday Uninformed Voter Joke | Grouchy Old Cripple
Saturday Uninformed Voter Joke | Grouchy Old Cripple: Saturday Uninformed Voter Joke
Glenn sent me this week’s uninformed voter joke.
A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door bursts open and in come four exuberant uninformed voters. They come up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their order over and sit down at a large table. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting, “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!”
Soon, three more uninformed voters arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows. “51 days, 51 days, 51 days! ” Two more uninformed voters show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof. “51 days, 51 days, 51 days! ” Finally, the tenth uninformed voter comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jumps the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-fives, all the while chanting “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!
“The bartender can’t contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child’s jigsaw puzzle of the White House. When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the uninformed voters, “What’s all the chanting and celebration about?
The uninformed voter who brought in the picture pipes in, “Everyone thinks that uninformed voters are dumb and they make fun of us just because we voted for Obummer. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together…the side of the box said 6-10 years, but we put it together in 51 days!”
