Learn to Code
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Reminds of an SNL skit from an earlier, funny era. 1991 Democrat primary debate. The gag was no one wanted to be the nominee Bush was going to crush like Dukakis in 1992.
That was in the immediate aftermath of the first Gulf war. And before anyone outside of Arkansas had heard the name Clinton.
Bush the Elder demonstrated that success in war tends to be an ephemeral popularity boost for the party in power. After World War I the Republicans came roaring back in 1920 and after World War II the Republicans in 46 took the Congress for the first time since the New Deal. By 1992 Bush’s no new taxes broken pledge was remembered and the Gulf War victory forgotten. A victorious general can start a successful political career, but the party in power rarely has a long term boost from winning a war. The exception is the Civil War, the great monumental event in American history which had a greater domestic impact by far than any of our other wars, with the exception of the American Revolution.
Joe could be re-tooled for God sake’s.
He would be a remarkable waste disposal engineer or liquid propane dealer, in keeping with his extensive energy experience. A mule for the drug cartels.
You name it…Joe could almost do it.
Joe could change careers to be in Used Car sales. That’s about all he’s capable of.
And it wouldn’t be much of a change.
My God–He is an idiot. To suggest writing “code” is no different than coal mining shows how out of touch with reality this man is. I wasan iron worker who came down with MS Went back to school to learn computer programming. Trust me MR. VP Learning how to write Fortran or Pascal was not the same as walking high steel. Time for you to leave America alone. Your thoughts are from the “Twilight Zone” (marathon ended early this am–you could have been a character in any of them)
I do not know anything about coal mining. I do know know something about dyslexia, dyscalculia, slow processing speed and the like.

I fear for my child’s future even in a good economy; under a socialist, heavily regulated one, God help him.
All the computer code in the world in useless and worthless without electricity from coal, oil, gas and nuclear power plants.
