The pharmacist has only been on duty for a little while but he seems to be
steering HP towards something.  It's always better to have a plan, albeit
imperfect, than to have no plan at all.


As for US politics, don't you have some riots to take care of over there?

It would be strange if you feared that Obama could succeed in this (assuming
for one moment that your assertion possesses any veracity, which I don't)
