       ====================================================================== 
        assholes that we have running our government,  By that, I don't mean
        just the assholes in Washington, I mean the assholes in the big corp-
        orations  all  the  way  from  the chairmen of the board down to the

        nothing lead.

        case of living a lie if ever there was one.  Oh, sure they look good
