Mebbe. Mebbe not.

Here's a thought. No doubt many of the people who voted for Dubya
feel strongly about government workers, among other issues. No
increase in government! It's full of incompetents and bozos who never

Or get re-elected. Dubya--the epitome of everything wrong with the
Government Employee.
