CREDITS (Or Debits?)

"It's not about how good you are, but who gets the credit."
(Denny Crane)

There has been much debate, in the U.S. and abroad, regarding the experience level of both Barak Obama and, especially, Sarah Palin. Most would agree that there is a reasonable cause for concern, and it is this very situation that has elevated the press worldwide to become far more interested in the credentials of all individuals whose influence sway millions, whether they are leaders in the political, military, economic or entertainment arena.

As a result, it came as no surprise when the Needtovent hierarchy was approached by the respected research departments of both the Buddhist newspaper Hyundae Bulgyo and the Winnemucca Sun inquiring about the credentials and experience level of our Founder, CEO and Supreme Potentate -- Robert A. Nowotny. Our response to these requests, which were made through official channels and in full compliance with applicable international laws governing such disclosures, is posted below. Be advised that this listing is an abridged compendium of Mr. Nowotny's credits and accomplishments due to space limitations and an admittedly less-than-perfect memory. It is anticipated that additional credits will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.

Thank you for reading through my list of credits. Some might find this posting a bit pretentious, but, to paraphrase Descartes -- "Cogito Ego Sum." (Oliver Biggers be damned.)

As for a Fighting 69th Airborne Reunion -- that is an excellent idea. I'll start looking for a cheap, handicap accessable facility with a liquor license.

Bob-
You are truly a Renaissance...something. Never seen a list quite like this, it makes Sarah Palin look like a NASA Engineer. Well done--you have my vote for whatever orifice you might run for in Comal County. BTW, I can't wait to see the Alex Meixner Band. I'll brush up on my "air accordian" moves.
