Bush Demands Apple Recount

Posted by pudge on from the hee dept.

*no comment* writes "In what may be one of the funniest things since MSN's site saying iMac is the best computer, Apple's news site picked up a story from crazyapplerumors about how George Bush is demanding a recount an Al Gore's election to the Apple board." Rumor sites bad, parody sites good. Remember that the next time you ask for a press pass to Macworld.

    If the Board of Directors is a farcical pile of yes-man dead wood, then stuffing it with busy superstars, celebs, & trendy talking heads is the best strategy.

    If the Board of Directors is actually in charge of Apple and running it for the long-term benefit of the shareholders, then the most desirable Directors are those with time to do the job, and experience & ability in areas like running large organizations.

    I think Jobs is pretty good, but his ego, pay, etc. are long overdue for some real control.
