That was pretty funny, but I think I can one up you. The other Friday, after working a 60 hour week in another city away from my family, I got home, kissed the wife and hugged the children. That Saturday, I went golfing to relieve some stress. I got set up with 3 others whom I didn't know. 2 were bankers and 1 was a Wall Street jet setter. All 3 of them wore McCain pins and were avid fans of Palin. I got to talking about how bad the economy was and that I was worried my company was going to start laying people off. They replied that they'd already been laid off, but that each was set for life. I asked them how they managed that and they said severance packages from the bailout money. So I asked them why they were voting for McCain and they said because he would continue the redistribution policies of Bush, taking tax money from the working class to give to the rich, so they can play more golf. Hard to argue with that logic.
