  1. If Obama is going to be POTUS I think it is only fair that he also have a filibuster-proof majority in both house and senate. So that Obama, Pelosi and Reid can work together, unchecked, to institute what policies they see fit-

    1) no new drilling closer than 100 miles offshore (in other words 80% of known reserves are off limits)

    2) carbon taxes on coal plants for the purpose of driving them out of business (the San Francisco Chronicle to thank for revealing this)

    3) raising the highest marginal tax rates to 39%- because redistributing wealth to remedy income equality (which is manifestly UNFAIR) is more important than stimulating the economy or bringing money into government coffers, even in a recession.

    4) troops withdrawn from Iraq immediately, and removal from command (or at least, diluting his authority) of the General Who Betrayed Us (by winning)

    5) re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine, so HC can have a government-appointed Fairness Enforcer (I nominate Chick)

    6) unauthorized investigations and public humiliation of any private citizen who displays hostility to the new administration.

    7) because I know I left something out

    All Change is Good Change. And the more Extreme the Change, the Better. Don't judge Obama by what he has ever done (or not done), judge him by what he SAYS he will do. Because you can rest assured he is not lying to you just to get elected.

  2. I lost my crappy job in July. The company declared bankruptcy and stiffed their former employees out of the last 2 weeks of pay. Shortly after that, I lacerated the tendon of my right index finger and had to cancel all my gigs for 6 weeks. Now I am back to gigging, and having to rely on that alone for income- which is the very definition of Hell itself (which I used to define as being cooped up in an office all day). I have figured out that cocktail piano is not a growth industry. So I am very much in the job hunt. Michael's advice is very much appreciated and I'm pretty sure I would present a challenge for his skills.
