I saw Ellison of Oracle the other night on 60 Minutes II. Quite honestly, if it meant I had to inhabit his fevered, petty, extremely egotistical brain, I'd rather not have the $18.7 billion. There is something not quite human about the guy. To me he comes across as a very unhappy, very conflicted man.

Inheritant pays pretty well!
What sorta schoolin' ya need for that gig?

If you missed out on the inheritance gig it's never too late to ask John Kerry for some dating tips.
