It's gotten to the point where no one wants to give their primary foe the benefit of the doubt.

Just think about this for a moment: Why the hell would Hillary Clinton's group not tip the waitress? Think about it. Why would she ever, ever do anything that mindlessly rude? Agree with her or not on her platform, but do you really believe she's that miserly - not to mention stupid - that she would just take off from a meal without tipping the waitstaff?

This is why democracy doesn't function. I sometimes believe that it's not the media, it's not some dark conspiracy by the powerful, but our pea brains for not performing a little critical thinking on the matter and coming up with the very important question of "Why NOT?"

I love DU, but sometimes it drives me to drink. ;)

1. NO. It's a plot. The evil calculating shrew that is Hillary..

has been plotting for years to foil waitresses and service personnel across the great nation. She's been biding her time in the Senate..waiting for the perfect chance to set her plan into motion. She is diabolical.

3. Yes, the mindless crap that the MSM focuses on. This tipping

issue with Hillary, and the hand over the heart nonsense with Obama.
I'm sure that when the National Anthem is played around Bush he has one hand full of drugs and money, and the other with it's thumb up his ass.

4. Why would someone shut down an airport for a haircut?

These are exactly the kind of stupid and hysterical stories that the MSM loves to repeat until everyone believes them.

5. I'm in that wonderful Valhalla called "still undecided"

I'm in that wonderful Valhalla called "still undecided" which denies me investing emotion into any of the candidates. Which in turn, provides half entertainment and half frustration. ESPECIALLY on the Sen. Clinton tip threads.

We proclaim righteously how cynical we are-- except we're also pretty gullible too.
