That website is so bad it's almost funny.

This is obviously a lame joke.

Re: Steve Jobs for President

Not as bad as this.  It disagrees with just about every website guideline around.

I want Jobs as my president.  Hell, he could be the ruler of the world!  The WORLD!  HAHAHAHAHA!

Re: Steve Jobs for President

He'd have to get more than 3.4% of the vote.

Re: Steve Jobs for President

No, he'd just put down any poor performance to the "Vote Myth", where people incorrectly believe that a higher number of votes means a more popular candidate. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course, and he'll have the polls to prove it (for example, 87% of graphics professionals, who may or may not use a certain computer, support him).

Vote Different?
Switch your vote?

Wouldnt that still be enough to make him the 3rd most popular party and possibly be able to show up for the debates? :-D

Not everyone in the US has a computer, so that number's probably around 2% maybe.

Re: Steve Jobs for President

Jobs started his campaign, and called it "Vote Different", and also came up with the clever slogan:

When you vote for Steve, you vote for Jobs.

When asked if he thought he could win, he just replied "Hey, if dead people can vote twice for Gorge Bush in Florida, then I'll win for sure."

Re: Steve Jobs for President

The best part would be his new Keynotes!!!
"Ladies and Gentleman, the President of the United States..." and out comes Jobs with a huge American Flag in the backdrop...still wearing a black turtleneck and jeans...with that slight wave that says "Its hard as hell to be this cool..."

"Well, this has been a year of innovation for the United States...and we have two US Worlds worth of news...so lets get started...(applause)..for starters I want to talk about nuclear weapons...we did some research on modern attomic devices, and found that while yields are up...there is ALOT of room..in fact, we found that a modern Tomahawk missile is good for removing a city the size of Portland, Or. But the problem we found was that to remove a larger piece of real estate would take a whole slew of them. So we have been hard at work working on something that would coordinate the effort...and we come up with THIS....iNuke. (applause) iNuke is the center of your intercontinental war. We think this is going to be HUGE. Let me show you how it works....
(sits down)

iNuke opens in less then one bounce...here I have my map payne. The Map Payne refreshes every 15 seconds using your open TCPIP session to pull information and build the map of the planet that you see here. Now, you ask "Steve, why would you need to refresh the map?" Well that is a good question. You see, we did some research, and found that nucleur war is dynamic, which is a fancy way of saying that it changes. If I have a coordinated attack with iNuke to take out Pakistan for example, Pakistan is no longer on this map 15 seconds after I incinerate it. So here, let me open a new session....Lets just blow up Canada for fun...eh? (Crowd Laughs). Now I am going to select Target, And Im going to click on Canada....now notice that it only wants to blow up Calgary...if I hold down the shift key and click on Canada....there we go, notice how all of Canada is now highlighted in red..so if I click Launch, Canada will now go the way of Bell Bottoms and the Bay City Rollers...
And that.....is iNuke.
(applause)

Now lets talk about where iNuke is pulling its data from. We did some research on communications technology and found that our current sattelites are about as reliable as a 1974 Ford Pinto...(audience laughs) so we've had a team up around the clock for about 6 months developing this...(image pops up in background) we call it iSat. (applause).
Now, let me show it to you....


As you guys can see, Jobs would be a COOL president.... cool

I think one smiley is equal to a lot of laughter. The more you add the more the effect is lost. If they wanted you to add a million smileys, they'd add a button that did it for you.
