Top 12 Reasons to Vote Democrat - I was chatting with a client this morning, and she made a statement that stunned me to such a degree that I immediately felt weakened, short of breath, dizzy, and unable to focus clearly. I stumbled to my chair, fell into it, took a large swallow of spring water, and said, "Certainly, mine ears failed me! I imagined you said that you voted Democrat." She assured me that is what she said. I fell into a delirium.
After a time, my breathing stabilized, my vision cleared, and I said, "Surely you have misread today's calendar and imagine it to be April 1st!" She assured me she was serious, and she listed her Top 12 Reasons for Voting Democrat:
1. I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.
