When Bitter Republicans Tip (or more precisely, when they don’t)

by JOEY DEVILLA on JANUARY 8, 2013
An online acquaintance of mine stumbled across this gem left for waitstaff by a patron:


Some suggested interpretations of this message include:

“You may have already suspected that I was an asshole, but I have left you some documentation just in case.”
“I’m incredibly angry and not entirely sure who to blame so i lash out at everyone around me.”
“I’m mad about having to pay to keep the country running, and I’ve decided the most effective way to make my displeasure with this governmental policy known to the people responsible is to take it out my impotent rage on waitresses.”

It's always better to give than receive!

Starting to wonder if this is how they're trying to build up momentum for 2014. Pay workers less, stating that it's because of Obama. Don't leave tips, blame it on Obama. Be total asshats, blame it on Obama. Hoping to get people riled up and have them channel their anger toward... Obama. "I just smacked you in the face because Obama makes me pay taxes." It might just work... on those with the average IQ of a paper napkin.

I anticipate more and more of this.

... And then he saw the response stating that this has already been proven untrue. Umm. I hope that's the case. As much as I love my own conspiracy theories, I'd rather people that people arouond me aren't necessarily mean and stupid.
