I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop! don’t do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
I said: Well, there’s so much to live for!
He said: Like what?
I said: The Bush era is almost over! Are you a Democrat or a Republican?
He said: Democrat.
I said: Me too! Are you a liberal, a moderate, or a conservative?
He said: Liberal.
I said: Me too! Would you like a president like John McCain, who will talk about global warming, but offer only a weak industry friendly approach to dealing with it, or do you agree with the Democratic candidates that we need to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050?
He said: Reduce emissions by 80%!
I said: Me too! Would you like John McCain, who wouldn’t mind if the Iraq War lasted another 10,000 years, or would you prefer the approach of the Democratic candidates, who vow to start pulling us out next year??
He said: Out of Iraq!
