Just that I can write that qualifies me. As I hear it, it isn't how good your idea is, it is how crossed the eyes of the bureaucrat making the decisions become upon reading the applications which is the basis for acceptance. I make everybody a bit cross, natively.

Hey, I'm just trying to save you some frustration. I think the Three Stooges have it over the W.H. at this point, with some caveats. First, if one assumes the admin is trying to be helpful to America. Second, that the defense of the nation is paramount. And there are some others. If not, there might be some very intelligent things going on there. But... I need a couple billion to know.<br /><br />You know my address.
