@Weegee's bored: You speak the truth. Cardiologists, especially cardiac surgeons (along with orthopedic surgeons) are the rock stars of the medical staffs at any hospital purely because of their profitability. They are extremely well compensated and treated like royalty. Who would leave that for a "maybe" career in politics?
My much older brother just had a stent placed--just one little tube put into an artery of the heart. The cost? $64,000. He's now fighting the insurance company because he was working half time as an IT specialist before they laid him off completely and they are attempting to deny the claim based on the fact that he wasn't at least 3/4 time at his job.
@CarolynKay: yep. well, even though he IS in prison, people down here in louisiana still really, really like the guy. he's a crook, but he's a popular crook. but still, not exactly a familial tie you really want to play up too much.
Delhi is a city in Louisiana, Belonsky. The company Jindal's bringing in is ConAgra, not an Indian company, which wants to build a factory in Delhi, Louisiana. I don't expect you to know Louisiana geography, but think about whether what you're writing makes sense next time.
I would have to vote against the Governator. "Annie" says she only learned he was married afterwords, and I think most people know that he is married already. Also, I'm pretty sure he would take the full hour.
Jindal I could see not lasting the full hour very easily.
I'll say this in defense of Rendell: from what I've heard, there's no shortage of cute democrat girls who are willing to sleep with him for free, so I doubt it's him. Plus I like him.

I think I speak on behalf of non-republicans everywhere when I say that I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
