Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Steven Paul Jobs: February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011

Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday, at age 56, of pancreatic cancer.

A brilliant mind, a marketer, innately creative, Jobs and Apple will be firmly and inexorably linked forever.

Jobs resigned as Apple CEO on August 24th. I didn't believe that he would last the year. He did not.

There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will.

—Steve Jobs

If Mrs. Jobs finds her anniversaries in the future as tough as I'm finding mine today, I don't wish that on ANYBODY.; Thu Oct 06, 11:58:00 AM PDT

Bloviating Zeppelin

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
