FurryGoat.com: [Andy Abramson] There are some rumors circulating that Steve Ballmer is about to step aside at Microsoft as its day to day operations head to make room for another president…Bill Clinton. Hm. While I doubt there’s any truth to it, that would be kinda cool. I’m not sure what he knows about software, but didn’t someone close to him create the internet? :) Also, it would make Randy’s head explode. That would be fun too.
I think I confused Steve: my head hasn’t exploded. In fact, I chortled at the reference to Gore once being credited with creating the Internet b/c that one always infuriated me. No, no, my head didn’t explode – I mean I’m so many levels removed from Ballmer in the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter who’s in there, from a job point of view… as a stock holder however, aside from getting press – and the possibility of having more interns on campus – what exactly makes Bubba qualified to run Microsoft? Of course, the first comment that makes reference to how “well he ran the nation” as justification will make my head explode.
On another note, there’s a comic running tomorrow – I forget which one, but I think it’s Mallard – that has a New Years prediction: “CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN will predict Senator Clinton will win the 2008 Presidency… in 2006.” That made me laugh, because it’s probably an accurate prediction.
