One of my friends who owns a small business was delighted when Tech Lady was running for governor of California last time. &quot;Business people can run government way better than politicians.&quot; My reply that governments are not in any way like businesses failed to sway him. The administration of Dubya should have removed this idea from the collective consciousness but there&#039;s still the faint glimmer of hope that the right business <strike>pirate</strike> leader can fix mismanagement and overspending even where it doesn&#039;t exist. Another friend kept saying Texas should &#039;cut services&#039;. When I asked what &#039;services&#039; he just stammered and repeated &#039;cut services&#039;. Talking points don&#039;t require much reality.
The problem with these megawealthy banksters is that they are too ambitious. Kashkari should really consider buying a smaller state first--say, Wyoming or New Hampshire or Arkansas.
Unless you&#039;re the Terminegger you can&#039;t usually leapfrog straight to buying a state with a bigger population than Canada. Bootstraps, Neel: bootstraps!
Since California just turned a $7 billion dollar budget surplus, I smell a vulture capitalist &quot;harvesting.&quot; Maybe Bain Capital can underwrite a part of his campaign.
That conversation was over 25 years ago, when Texas still care somewhat for those less fortunate than rich Republicans.
Well, he&#039;s got the crazy eyes, so that&#039;s a start.
But only in the best of all possible states?

I think she&#039;s flying back to California, on the (glowing) red-eye.

Well done.
