Becoming a Republican for fun and profit

Having been treated awhile back to a column by Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke on "How One Becomes a Republican," (Earlier post) I thought I'd share with you another look at the same question.

This one is tongue-in-cheeck, from Jeff Gillenkirk, a former Mario Cuomo speechwriter. It first appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle. It's titled, "Why I'm joining the GOP: Leaving the left for fun and profit."

A sample:

"The reasons are many, not the least of which is age. I turned 55 recently and, having lived more than half my life, I can't afford to worry anymore about the other guy. It's time for me."
