Subject: Demorats!

A tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San
Francisco. While looking around at the exotic
merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized,
bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was
so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must
have it.

He took it to the old shop owner and asked, "How much
for the bronze rat?"

"Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat,
$100 for the story," said the wise old shopkeeper.

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. "I'll just
take the rat, you can keep the story".

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat,
the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out
of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him
down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began
walking faster. A couple blocks later he looked behind him
and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown
to hundreds, and they began squealing. Sweating now, the
tourist began to trot toward the Bay.

Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to
discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS,
and were squealing and coming toward him faster and
faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the
bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay. Amazingly,
the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the
bronze rat, and were all drowned. The man walked
back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

"Ahhh," said the owner, "You have come back for story?"

"No sir," said the man, "I came back to see if you have
a bronze Democrat."
