Orrin Hatch wants more H1-b Visas.
Listening to The Computer Show on WBAI earler, and they spent some time moaning about the state of employment in the business. Nothing new there.

Then, someone mentioned that Hatch has offered up a plan to incease H1-b's to 150,000 or so. One of his "advisors" is the Indian Programmer's Association, or something like that. Seems Hatch believes we just don't have the talent here.

During the ensuing hollering, someone asked "Just what country is he working for?"

3. Conservatism is selfishness and greed
Hatch just adds zest to the mix by being stupid and devout.
