First and foremost: It was a joke. Some people seem to be a bit "touchy"

Second, I am not on the left. I am not on the right. I am not a
Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am an American. I live in America. I
pay taxes. I vote. I work at a "regular" job. And I have never been
arrested for anything. I like jokes about Republicans, Democrats,
Communists, men, women, and just about anything else available on this
planet. They are JOKES. They are FUNNY. Try laughing for a change, it's
alot better than frowning, believe me.
Third, nothing was mentioned about anyone's "substance abuse". Nor was
anyone's name ever mentioned anywhere in the joke. But, if you'd really
like, I can send you an MPEG of someone who is drunk off his butt in 1992
at a fundraising party for his daddy. I wish I had a similar MPEG of a
President in the Oval Office delivering a "gift" to his intern, so that I
could pass that around the internet as well. Now that would be funny!
Fourth, where someone graduated from school has nothing to do with
intelligence or their ability to make good decisions. May I suggest you
research where the Unibomber got his Phd from, where Ted Bundy got his
Masters from and where Jeffrey Dahmer got his Bachelors from.
I was a friggin joke.
(And a funny one, too, might I add)
