Um, Radar, this is the point at which you are supposed to be slipping them the bribe. Otherwise, they will be "looking at" your paperwork until the next revolution there.
And you better lose that "public servants work for me" attitude, they chew up and spit out dozens just like you every week. Been there, done that.

I think he's refering to the US consulate. We all know US gumint employees don't take bribes.

I guess that depends on who you ask. I see the racist, jingoistic, protectionistic, anti-immigrant types as a very tiny group of whackos compared to overwhelming majority who understand America was built by immigrants and who welcome them.

radar i hope everything works out with your wife. i also hope that your *ahem* strong beliefs haven't rubbed off on her too much yet. if she were too actually believe that the people who were interviewing her actually DID work for you, there isn't a chance in hell of getting here.
it is at this intersection with reality that your strict libertarian beliefs leave you high and dry.

You may have to choose which is more important to you at this stage of your life ... your principles or your wife.
Go kiss your Senator's ass, your wife will be here in two weeks. If she really wants to come. You have not been present at any of her interviews. You do not know precisely what was said. You have been supporting her and her family for some time. Yes, as a matter of fact, my glass is half empty. But I'm rarely, if ever, disappointed.

Even libertarians indulge in false hope from time to time. I say move heaven and earth to get past the beauracratic crap, then worry about the other stuff. Too much reality at once is bad for you.

I bought a ticket today to go to Vietnam. I'll be leaving on May 19th and coming back June 4th. Hopefully I'll be able to arrange a meeting with my servants while I'm there.
![]() I'll also travel around a bit with just me and my wife. This is the first time I've gone to Vietnam alone, and it will be the most time we've had alone together. Her family even came with us on our honeymoon.

Oh, but it's not the third world. It's a shining example of the Communist Worker's Paradise.
