STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Wednesday, 25 January 2012

16. I think it should also be duly noted

That Steve Jobs' widow -- don't know her name, don't care -- was invited to sit with Mrs. Obama for the SOTU tonight, a "special guest" following in a tradition established by St. Ronnie in 1982, when he so honored Lenny Skutnik. Skutnik, for those too young to recall, had leaped into the icy Potomac following the crash of an Air Florida jet, in an attempt to help one of the very few survivors of the crash. The crash had occurred just a few days before the SOTU.

The irony is appalling. Skutnik retired in 2010, after 31 years working for the Congressional Budget Office. He never sought fame, certainly never fortune, never asked "what's in it for me?" before he literally dove into a river filled with huge chunks of floating ice and jet fuel to help a frozen and traumatized flight attendant.

What is Obama thinking? or is he thinking? He gives a state of the union address about a union that is economically crippled, and it's crippled because of men like the aforementioned Steve Jobs. Men who are so greedy, so fucking selfish, that they care nothing about their fellow human beings either in this country or in China. They have beggared this country and enslaved the people of China, all in the name of wealth. Wealth that they can't take with them, as perhaps Steve Jobs now knows. But his estate passes intact to his heirs and his widow is feted by the president.

Steve Jobs widow isn't worthy to cut the toenails of Lenny Skutnik.
