No,  Doug is our newsboy. He's a little man with a skinny mustache, a
Lillywhite Land Marxist revolutionary living in exile who co-authors
"How To Be A Capitalist Pig"  books and raises millions of dollars in
venture capital to fund countless business ventures that exploit the
poor in third-world nation states. Doug was married to
Barbara for six years. Now that Doug has his papers he treats Barb like
an e-mail order bride.
