Despite having two bankruptcies on his record and despite the

fact that his primary qualification was his experience repairing

cracked windshields in a Colorado parking lot, Alan Kirchhoff

was promoted by Governor Rick Perry to head the Texas

Emerging Technology Fund, which has dispensed $360 million

to start-up companies.  Along the way, Mr. Kirchhoff also

managed to enrich himself, becoming a millionaire

 in very short order.  If you see him driving around

in either his Hummer or Mercedes, or see him at his

East Texas lake house, just remember that Mr.

Kirchhoff is a devout evangelical  and studies

the Scriptures daily.
