It's such a crazy idea, it could probably work! The NSFW source will probably relegate it to P&CE, but what do the tech wonks think? Mods, your call...

Steve Jobs for President!

I think it's a terrible idea. Jobs is horribly sexist, he opposes the very notion of freedom of the press, and while he is absolutely brilliant, he's not a good boss.
I love Apple's products. I would not work at Apple. I would not support Jobs for President.

He is much more adult, and nicer now than he was, but he's still not someone I'd want to work for.
He still makes jokes about women that are offensive in the extreme, and is quite comfortable with making sexist and dismissive comments in public.
Not to mention his ill health in the past can be a real voter turn-off.
Maryn, who ain't voting for no fool who thinks offensive jokes about women are funny

Dr. S, having cancer does mellow a young turk out a bit. Hey, he's got the heartland "overcoming odds" factor down!
This is in a whimsical spirit, of course - I'm not familiar with any anti-feminist commentary of his, but his Chinese sweatshops could dampen his run pretty damn quick. The intent of Mr. Maher's rant was to highlight that a streamlined government, dare I say a privatized approach? could solve most of the issues that are choking it right now.

It doesn't? Damn. I'll have to come up with a new excuse.

At least he's a genius. There are way worse things.... Like assholes who are idiots. I see them every day, everywhere.
Zing! Guess people have gotten smarter over the last five years. Maybe because they use Apple products? 
Also, this person is an Apple board member. Maybe she helped him clean up his act? More likely it was Laurene Powell-Jobs...

I think I might vote for Mr. Wosniak before Mr. Jobs. At least he doesn't take himself so seriously.

DO NOT WANT!
Had a minor run-in with him in the magical land of Silicon Valley and was extremely not impressed with him as a human being.

I was waiting for the right opportunity to bump this, and I knew I had to sooner or later. But THIS is a fucking eulogy. A fun sidenote to the recent tragedy...
