A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost so she
lowers her altitude and spots a man in a boat below. She shouts
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 consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a
hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation
of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes
north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much
help to me."

The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are or
where you're 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.
