Well I consider myself less like an armchair
quarterback and more like a fan that bought a ticket
to see a football game played and instead had
Halliburton win because the other team forfeited by
not showing up. But if I were to pick up your gauntlet
and take the field myself, I think I would have to try
to take on Lockheed-Martin because jet fighters are so
much cooler than plumbing and electrical. ;)
