On this rainy afternoon, I happen to read my Good Morning Silicon Valley newsletter for the first time in several weeks. I came across their "Quoted section." It included a suggestion from Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, that Bill Gates should be our next President. This is an absolutely great quote from Scott's post.
For my president I want a mixture of Mother Teresa, Carl Sagan, Warren Buffet, and Darth Vader. Bill has all of their good stuff. His foundation will save more lives than Mother Teresa ever did. He’s got the Carl Sagan intelligence and rational mind. He’s a hugely successful businessman. And I have every reason to believe he can choke people just by concentrating in their general direction. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t be useful at a summit.
Well I am sold. I already kind of like Bill now that he has mellowed out and is giving away his billions. He certainly a much more likable guy than Steve Jobs. If Bill is going to be the President of the US, maybe Steve can snag Cuba. I think he would make a great replacement for Castro.
You can find more about Bill Gates for President at billgatesforpresident.net. Bill Gates has my vote. We can all contribute to the campaign by purchasing new Vista machines. There is probably enough digital rights management stuff in Vista to satisfy even the NSA.
Seriously maybe it is time for a geek in the White House. We could fight the war on game consoles and no one would get hurt. Obviously this idea merits some thought.
