I'm REALLY steamed! How dare Barack Obama call the likes of me, "Selfish". In one day, yesterday, I did more acts of charity than his running mate did the last 6 fiscal years!
I started by setting my alarm on a non-teaching day at 5:50 a.m. in order to make it to the blood center to give blood at 6:30. I then, selfishly, went to get a haircut which I had put off for 3 weeks due to making sure it was in a subsequent pay-period so my kids could eat.
Next, I stopped at the post-office in order to buy more postage for mailings I needed to get out for a charity sporting event I am organizing in early 2009. That was 6 bucks I'll never see again.
By 9:45 I returned home to rake the neighbor lady's lawn since the house of the 86 year-old has remained vacant for the last six months. This begins the seasons of upkeep. My husband will resume his regularly scheduled "shovel-everyone-else's-property-like-there's-no-tomorrow" routine when the first snow flies too.
Then, I realized that if the stats are correct, Joe "I'm so damn condescending" Biden, had only given about $600ish bucks to charity last year! Next, I flipped on the tv to find tape of "The Messiah" being played back and him spouting off something about how if I'd like to keep my money and THEN decide where to charitably give it, I am practing, "The Virtue of Selfishness"???? GIVE ME A BREAK! My husband and I gave over 5x more than "Joe the politician" last year, and I am certain our income was easily 5x less! These people should stick to what they do best: hang with their friends at free-trade coffee shops and read the NY Times. Get out of the rest of our ways!
