Now I think it's mportant to point out that I am a senior executive in the company that I work for and would be considered in the top 10% income nationally.

The Alex Keaton wanna-be's asked the bartender (Seth) to turn the HDTV to McLame's speech.......
In a very short period of time, Seth and i were making comments back and forth about McLame....this went on for several minutes before one of te Alex Keaton lookalike's spoke up ad said to me "woould you mind keeping your opinions to yourself.......I looked at the asshole and said to him "this is a fucking public space and I have the right to say what I want and if you do not like it, you cango back to your room and watch TV" and the asshole never uttered another word to me the rest of the evening.
When the speech was ovder, "Seth" asked the group if he could chnage the channel and all said "yes". He out on The Daily Show and the rstof us laughed our asses off while the four guys sat seething.

I cried when Gore lost............I cried when Kerry lost....I am done crying and I will do everything to get Obama-Biden elected.
