> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > To my risk-taking self (my life motto: Don’t take chances, take risks) she would be considered cool, until she showed that she was _actually_ crazy. Admittedly, there can be a fine line between “totally awesome rad person” and “holy shit they’re actually just crazy”. 😃 Or, as one of my therapist friends ruefully puts it “you can have sex with a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder, and it will be great, but it is a mistake to wake up next to one the next morning” ---

> [@Honey](#): > > From your link: > > MS. PATRICIA DRISCOLL > Patricia has spent the majority of her career in the narcotics and intelligence world. While working abroad, many issues came up at home that brought her to Washington DC, where over the last 9 years she has developed strong relationships in the House, Senate, and the White House. Her strongest ally’s are the Armed Services Committee, Appropriations, Ways and Means, the Homeland Security Committee, and the Intelligence Committee. Here are a few of the things she has been involved in over the past few years: > •Became an advisor for the field directors of Border Patrol and Customs to Congress and Headquarters Border Patrol and US Customs > • Testified before Congress on small business issues regarding Homeland Security > •Was paid by the British Embassy to go on a speaking tour of England regarding “Doing Business with Homeland Security”. I was the panel expert on the law enforcement section as well as the security and intelligence components. > • Was invited to be a panel expert for the intelligence field for the Dept. of Defense summit on Small Business at the Pentagon. > •Panel advisor for State Dept. to the Ambassador for Human Trafficking > • Congressional advisor for narcotics, trafficking, immigration, and border protection > > Copyright 2006 Frontline Defense Systems > She may not be an assassin, but she sure has a very cool resume. I haven’t bothered looking at the actual website, but I’m not impressed by that list. Once you de-inflate everything there, it boils down to ‘lobbyist’. Not completely incompetent lobbyist; she’s able to get on the invite list for congressional testimony, and be on some ‘panel’, etc. but there’s nothing there that necessarily shows competence in anything other than schmoozing. And that’s clearly her job: be an attractive blonde who’s good at schmoozing people in Congress and the DoD, particularly people who write contracts. It’s quite possible that she really founded a company; it’s also quite possible she is only nominally the head of the company, in order to qualify it as a woman-owned business and therefore get extra points in contract competitions with the federal government. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > He wasn’t already? I like neither, but I prefer Kyle to Kurt by far. It’s entirely possible that I’ve gotten the two confused and pinned some of Kurt’s shenanigans on Kyle. And my opinion might have been influenced by this lengthy feature that I read on Kurt right around the time he was attempting to do The Double that was all about how he had straightened up and had totally turned over a new leaf. Also, I just don’t like Kyle’s big, dumb face. I’m not that big of a racing fan, actually. If I didn’t work in the sports biz in North Carolina, I doubt that I would even know who either Kyle or Kurt are. ---
