$60K. Are you kidding me? That is almost poverty wages. The last time I
made that little was over ten years ago. Geez. You really don't know
what computer geeks are paid do you?

Who said anything about being elected. The word I used was "appointed".

Oh yeah, like having sex with a bunch of AIDs infected women would be a
goal worth desiring.

That isn't much of an achievement. Anyone who comes into their presence
might have a chance of doing that. Both of them are (or were, in the
case of John) reasonably friendly people.

Not an equivalent experience by a long shot (no pun intended ---- no,
wait a minute let the pun stand. I have to have a little bit of humor).

No. It actually turned out to be a rather innocent accident that turned
into a whole city shooting guns everywhere. I had to rapidly learn a
back-roads route to the  embassy. It was all over in about two hours and
turned out not to be a coup despite initial indications, but I could
have done without the scare.

Yeah right. Which means you've never done anything at all like that.

Humility has its time and place. In this case I'm rather proud of having
done this. I get to help someone else along the way in a substantive
manner.

who was once in the game.

Singer. Real bass. Of course I was up there with 200 other singers, but
still, I was on stage and we performed before a paying audience.

Flitting around the U.S. doing work for my company. I'm in pretty high
demand these days. That's why I've been in four different cities in the
last five weeks.
