Maybe he's going to be a "political liaison".......someone to protect them FROM the Government, since he KNOWS BEST how to ATTACK business. But, this makes me almost ill...that he would be so close to us (in the same region of this State).....YUCK. Just what we need is the local liberal press spending MORE TIME FAWNING over a CLINTON. YUCK again.

"Here's the conspiracy theory; either microsoft hires Billy Boy or Hillary will sic the Justice Department on the company again when she gets power. : ) "

I was thinking mayby Billy was shaking them down or enlisting them in another globalist scheme to provide free PC's to the Bushmen or something.

Amazingly, many people are still enamored of this bozo. For them, he has "charisma".

Then again, maybe he's going to model for a reprise of the video game "Larry the Lounge Lizard".

I will see how much dynamite it takes to send my computer to the moon if Clinton takes over Microsoft.

"They went on to emphasize this is just a rumor and pointed out the trips may have to do with Clinton being on the Microsoft's board."

Clintoon's DOJ tried to bring MSFT down (probably got more contributions from their competitors); and, I hadn't heard that Billyboy was added to MSFT's Board, but, you had me going for a minute - is this from Scrappleface?

Link to MSFT Board of Directors and Bubba isn't on it:

The blog, VoIP Watch, reported on the number of visits Bill Clinton has been making to Microsoft's facilities up in Redmond, Wa.

He's been testing their new virtual porn product.

"And Bill Gates is sitting on one big pile of sh!t."


In the beginning was the project, and then the specification; And the plan was without form, and the specification was void.

And darkness was on the faces of the implementors thereof; And they spake unto their leader, saying: "It is a crock of sh!t, and smells as of a sewer."

And the leader took pity on them, and spoke to the project leader: "It is a crock of excrement, and none may abide the odor thereof."

And the project leader spake unto his section head, saying: "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide it."

The section head then hurried to his department manager, and informed him thus: "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."

The department manager carried these words to his general manager, and spoke unto him saying: "It containeth that which aideth the growth of plants, and it is very strong."

And so it was that the general manager rejoiced and delivered the good news unto the Vice President. "It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."

The Vice President rushed to the President's side, and joyously exclaimed: "This powerful new software product will promote the growth of the company!"

And the President looked upon the product, and saw that it was very good.

After the subsequent disaster, the suits protect themselves by saying "I was misinformed!", and the implementors are demoted or fired.

Gives Real meaning to Microsoft's basher's nickname for the company, "The Evil Empire".

Doubt it's true.

If true, it's time to make the Linux switch.
