I agree 100% that any semblance of competence anywhere inside the Beltway would be a refreshing change.
How that relates to another silver-spoon whose diddy was an big-wig politician escapes me, unless you think FDR is a shining example of political genius being hereditary.
My condolences on living in Kali.
BTW, I forgot to welcome you to FR. When checking your homepage to see what wonderful spot YOU lived in, I noticed you were a brand new FReeper. Boy, you have been quite the prolific poster since joining only a few days ago. You seem awfully comfy (you don't have a prior screen name by any chance, do you? or maybe just a long-time lurker?). In any event --- welcome.
