Blonde Beauties and Black Booties: Racial...

The Jobs Prayer
All Hail the Jobs, for mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Apple.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Windows, I will fear no DOS for Steve is with me; Thy Lion OS and thy iPad, they comfort me. Thou preparest a seat at the Genius Bar for me in the presence of mine old PC
Thou annointest my head with App store, my hard drive runneth over

Ending nuclear evil
Eliminating nuclear weapons is the democratic wish of the world’s people. Yet no nuclear-armed country currently appears to be preparing for a future without these terrifying devices.
