Jobs: Gore for President

Surprise, surprise: yet another reason to dislike Al Gore and Apple. It's like the two entities self-perpetuate their inanity. Basically, the story is:

"We have dug ourselves into a 20-foot hole, and we need somebody who knows how to build a ladder. Al's the guy," Jobs also told Newsweek. "Like many others, I have tried my best to convince him. So far, no luck."

I'm speechless. I am without speech. So I'll let these other comments from readers suffice.

How can a guy as smart as Jobs back a guy as stupid as Al Gore? Al's only claim to fame since he was beat by President Bush, is polluting peoples mind with the human caused global warming scam. Perhaps Al Gore has never heard that Mars is also warming and will lose it's polar icecap. Duh!

I think Jobs has a loose screw in his brain if he thinks "Hoot" Al Gore would be elected President. Al, Hillary, and Barak should all run for president of some Island in the Pacific that only has room for their overstuffed egos.

I respect Steve in many ways, but his choice to have Al Gore on Apple's board is NOT one of them. Al Gore is a raving lunatic and should be in a straight jacket. Steve should stay out of politics or resign from Apple -- the two do not mix.

Steve... You're out of your domain.

IS this the same Al Gore who would like to completely devastate the US economy by signing the joke that is Kyoto? Even the former first philanderer wouldn't sign Kyoto, but ol' Al doesn't mind putting 2/3d of the country on unemployment due to business and factory closures as a result of Kyoto.

Or, maybe it's the same Al Gore who fielded a film chock full of inaccuracies, lies and blatant exaggerations to scare the American people into digressing lifestyles back to the stone age while he takes a caravan of 9 SUVs 500 feet from one building to the next. Is Jobs support Michael Moore or Al Gore?

I KNOW NOW ANOTHER REASON NOT TO BUY APPLE PRODUCTS. I CANT IMAGINE AL GORE ON ANY BOARDS I SERVE

Steve Jobs and Unions: Without the Fluff, For Once

Steve Jobs just got a big, giant happy sticker from me. And it didn't require an act of God, surprisingly enough. All it took was the common wisdom and guts to call unions for what they really are: poison.

Unions are bad enough for the auto and other industries. They're even worse for public schools--where economic realities do little to prevent sub-par performance among teachers. And where the ones who suffer the greatest consequences are the children.

In Jobs' words:

"I believe that what is wrong with our schools in this nation is that they have become unionized in the worst possible way," Jobs said.

"This unionization and lifetime employment of K-12 teachers is off-the-charts crazy."
