It seemed so clear to me today that if George W Bush had found his true calling which should have been high power speed boat racing (on a par with NASCAR but even redder around the neck) we would be a better nation today. If he had found his boats, Molly Ivans would still have been significant, perhaps Govenor after Richards.



If Hitler had found a benefactor for his beautiful Bavarian watercolor landscapes (that unfortunately were never commisioned) the world would be a better place. The artists and musicians of Europe would be sublime without measure.


If Edward Teller had gone into Optics instead of the H bomb he could have discovered how to make gas deposition diamond lenses with remarkable properties leading to new breakthroughs in physics.

If Condi Rice had won the Tchikovsky piano competition in Moscow she would have gorgeous little pianists of her own.

IF Dick Cheney had been drafted he might still be a miserable son of a bitch.
