House Republicans Admit that Barack Obama is a Good President

In a surprising turn of events, Republicans admit that Barack Obama is actually a pretty good president. 

Coming off of a blistering defeat during the debt limit and government shutdown battle, House Republicans were hunting for payback.  Unfortunately, they weren't able to find anything significant, like evidence that the President, under false pretenses, knowingly plunged the country into the longest and most expensive war the country’s history.  They couldn't even find anything titillating, like the President [really, really] enjoying the company of an intern in the Oval Office.  The Republicans had to settle on … wait for it … wait for it … a website that  didn't work properly when it was first released. 

When a broken webpage is the worst thing that you can find against your mortal enemy, a man who runs over puppy dogs for fun (sorry, wrong person, that was Dick Cheney), then it’s a pretty strong endorsement of that person.  So, you see, the Republicans have finally admitted that Barack Obama is a pretty good president.

Brain Dead Shoppers

This weekend I was out shopping for Christmas lights and I was reminded how dense some people can be.  There was a couple ahead of me in the checkout line.  It took the cashier several minutes to ring-up the couple's items.  Once the cashier came up with the total, the couple started fumbling around to find a credit card to pay for the items.  Now really, they didn't come to the realization that they would have pay for the items until after the cashier was done ringing up the items?

At least most stores don't take checks anymore.  The last time I saw someone pay with a check, she also waited until the cashier was done ringing up the items.  When the cashier was done, the customer realized that she would actually pay, like she had to at the last 50 places where she shopped. So, she rooted around in her purse for a while to find her checkbook.  The customer took some more time to write the check  What happened next?  The cashier asked to see some I.D., like the cashiers at the last 50 places that the woman shopped at did.  So, the woman took more time finding her driver's license in her purse.

These people brain dead, or they're just downright inconsiderate to the cashier and all of the customers behind them!
