Slog - Comments on I Will Fight! I Will Fight! I Will Fight! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/i_will_fight_i_will_fight_i_will_fight Here is Steve Ballmer starting a presentation at Microsoft: Here (via WFMU) is audio of Jim Jones inciting his followers to commit suicide. The former immediately made me think of the latter. Now I'm going to go make a nice autumn stew and lie down and take a nap....

I just hope his overworked heart (he's packing the fat don't ya see) does not stop. And to think he was told to behave that way by some idiot consultant.

He's still no match for Howard Dean, though.

What prompted you to unearth that old fossil?

Can we retire this "old video" bullshit, really? All it proves is that you spend more time sitting in front of a computer than I do. Bravo.

If I post something that says "OMG This New Video Is Totally New and Mind-Blowing and Also New," then you can call me on it. Isn't anybody going to point out that the Jim Jones audio is "at least ten years old?"

That is all.

I guess I just assumed you'd seen it years ago and brought it back up again for some specific reason, some recent Ballmer escapade I'd missed.

It was nothing by comparison.

And bitch-slapping Peter for pointing this out was low and uncalled for. If you can't do this job professionally, go work at McDonalds.

However, Ballmer is (with the possible exception of Blackwater execs) the vilest of the corporate vile, so I'm happy to see it making the rounds again.
