A little political humor...

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat
below. She shouted to him, 'Excuse me, can you help me? I
promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't
know where I am.'

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,
'You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30
feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level.
You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.'

She rolled her eyes and said, 'You must be a
Republican.'

'I am,' replied the man. 'How did you
know?'

'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything
you told me is technically correct , but I have no
idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost.
Frankly, you've not been much help to me.'
The man smiled and responded, 'You must be a
Democrat.'

'I am,' replied the balloonist. 'How did
you know?'

'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know
where you are or where you are going. You've risen to
where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made
a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you
expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now
it's my fault.'
