   Not sure how this became a political discussion. I was merely noting that the name Dilbert was used to describe a “geeky” person before the comic strip existed. No politics intended.

   Totally expected. And the song is just the point of a tragic sub-plot.

   I was being polite. I had considered “racist.”

    Anybody note the full “name” of the entrepreneur ? “William Hinds.”

    Granted, the two parts are spread about as far apart as they can be in the sub-strip.
