Based on what I see around me, here at my desk, there's no one left in
Punjab to vote for Hillary.

In any event, if I were you, I'd give some thought to vilifying the
Administration and the Republican Congresses of '00, '02 and '04, who
established the rules under which we presently operate.  The fat-cats who
had Dubya and Hastert in their pockets got large quantities of H-1B visas
approved in spite of the fact that trained American IT peopls are, well,
available and delivering newspapers.

But, hey, if it's any consolation to you, I've seen the work these imports
do and, very often their work sucks and the projects to which they get
assigned run way over budget in spite of the low hourly rates.  There's no
reason to go off-shore except to stick it to American workers.  If you think
Dubya's party is going to come up with some free-market, flat tax, anti-gay
marriage plan to help you with your problem, then, by all means, vote
Republican in '08.  I have other plans.

Bill and Hillary know what it's like to have to work.  Granted, they've been
in government a long time but they have had to work to get where they are.
Dubya's done nothing but get born rich and well connected live on the
largesse of his daddy's friends and he hasn't a clue.

You are aware, are you not, that Dubya's varioius oil businesses were all,
in fact, failures, and the only reason that they remained solvent was that
his daddy's pals kept bailing him out?  That run-of-the-mill stockholders
were run over in these bailouts?  That the one time Dubya made any money was
as manger of the Texas Rangers and the financial partners awarded him a
large chunk of cash because his pollitical connections got the stadium that
saved the franchise built at taxpayer expense?  That when Dubya says, "get
the government off the backs of the people," that's really shorthand for
"get the government off the backs of the people who were born wealthy, like
me, and transfer the average schlub's taxes into our pockets?"

Now, the Musketeers will be along presently to talk about my blind hatred of
Dubya but that's not the case.  It isn't Dubya's fault he was born wealthy
and well-connected and too dim to figure out just how lucky he is.  I don't
hate him.  I pity him.

Why?  Did they start a war they can't finish?  Or even explain?

And I did not say that Bill and Hillary had extensive experience in the
private sector.  Bill was a Rhodes Scholar.  They don't hand out that award
like Halloween candy.  And Hillary did have a career as a lawyer.  If you
look at her college and law years, it's a long record of solid
accomplishment.  That pair works and thinks.

Dubya spent most of his life skating by.  If he'd asked some tough
questions - or took the trouble to learn any Middle Eastern history, we
wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now.

A lot can happen in the next 18 months or so but Hillary's looking good at
this point.  I imagine all the Republican front-runners are just praying
that Dubya's biggest screwups are behind him, so they'll have a fighting
chance.

Are you a Rhodes Scholar?  Have you looked at Hillary's bio?  They didn't
walk into cushy jobs on their daddy's connections, they came out of college
v-e-r-y well qualified.  That took a lot of work.

Not half the way Dubya has.  And he hardly knows it.  He doesn't know what
it would be like to live without connections in his corner.

Richards.

Well, that's really pathetic.  And I mean really, really pathetic.
