Grin and Bear It

I have commented before about the immense power of the world wide web.

It literally puts any information in the world at your fingertips.  It connects you with great minds, great thoughts and great ideas as never before.  It is as if you have millions of people at hand to call on for another perspective or to solve a problem.  It provides a platform to extend ourselves while the technology continues to extend itself.

It also provides easy access to the amazing wit, humor and creativity of the human race like never before.

President Obama has become a pretty easy target of the witmeisters (did I just invent a word?-NO-see right below) with his comments of last week where he said,

" If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.  Somebody else made that happen. " 

Here are just a few examples of the humor and creativity out there on the internet reacting to that statement.

Nice computer.  Who is that interloper with it?

Thomas Edison should never have left Milan,Ohio to build that bulb in New Jersey.  Somebody else made it happen, anyway.  What was the point of all that effort?

We might as well teach these lessons early.  All the good ideas have already been thought of already.  Besides, why would we want anyone to think they need to work hard to move up the economic ladder?

Of course, to be fair, there are some things in this world where it really can be said that you did not earn it and somebody else did made it happen.

Moving to another subject, this ought to sum up a lot of people's feelings on the Obamacare penalty tax.

"They actually believed me when I said it wasn't a tax"!

Finally, sometimes you find someone that has found a way to convey a message that is simple, straightforward, and a little too scary for the good of our Republic about our choice in November.

It never hurts to laugh a little along the way.  There are plenty of reasons to grin and bear it right now.
