Googling Hans Reimer
September 02nd 11:59:39 AM
Our friend Hans has left quite a trail around the internet.
For those of you interested, a quick google search on the name Hans Reimer reveals:
1) Hans Reimer http://www.gwu.edu/~action/demconv/dncday2.htmlspoke to the Democratic National Convention in 2000. Apparenently they valued his input enough to have him lead into speaches by Charlie Rangel, Howard Dean, and Teddy Kennedy. You can't make this stuff up!!!
2) http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/lips200503020747.asp National Review and http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/04/04/mtv_generation_takes_on_social_security/ The Boston Globe both chronicle the unholy alliance between Crock the Vote and AARP. To summarize: Crock the Vote wants to use their assciation with celebrities (e.g. my lady Paris Hilton), to pull the wool over our eyes and advance bad policy.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Paris Hilton. The Simple Life is one of my favorite shows on Televison. As someone who spends most of his time in New York City and Los Angeles, I'm always curious to know what clubs she's hanging out in. I am eternally greatful to her for introducing those short, frilly, skirts into women's fashion last year. However, I do not consider Paris Hilton a reliable source of retirement planning information.
Personal Disclosure: Back in 1999, when I was 18 and she was probably 16, I met Nikki Hilton (Paris' little sister) at (the now-defunct)Life, in NYC. This was before they were nationally famous, but when they were known in the New York scene. Nikki gave me a couple of fashion and hair care tips that I use to this day. The point: we talked about fashion and hair care, NOT RETIREMENT SECURITY!!!
3) Always one to support a nutty leftist cause, check out http://slate.msn.com/id/1005082/this comment Hans made defending anti-globalization protesters!!! Betcha didn't think anyone would ever find that quote again, did you Hans?
