A man was traveling in a hot air balloon when he realized he was lost.
He lowered the balloon and saw a man in a boat below him. He called to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet her an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

The man consulted his Global Positioning System and Replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2200 feet above sea level.. You are 28 degrees, 14.50 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.”

He rolled his eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”

I am,” replied the man. “What made you say that?”

“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I’m still lost.. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.”

“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know that?”

“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME to solve your problem. You’re in EXACTLY the same
position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s MY fault.”
