If you're a known padron of an arrested hit man, you'd walk to the exit...: I surely hope that the tantalizing rumors of a
more involved (ahem) relationship between
the like-minded criminals Darl and MonkeyBoy
bear out. I would so like to see Microsoft
exposed - once and for all - as a criminal entity
more appropriate to be prosecuted under the
RICO statutes than antitrust.

Sadly, if any such link surfaces, G Dumb'ya
will likely award Sir Gattus Billious the
"Enron-Halliburton Good Corporate
Citizenship Award."

A pity that corporate hoodlums like McBride,
Gates and MonkeyBoy get wristslaps instead
of jail time for causing Million$ and Billion$ of
dollars in lost productivity and racketeering.; Posted by: dicktaurus@... Posted on: 02/12/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
