Loony pastor demands that his followers buy-and-dump Microsoft stock, hoping to drive the price down enough to hurt the company.

Me, I'm thinking May 1 might be a good time to buy me some Microsoft, cheap, at the expense of idiots. Everybody wins!

I feel disorientated. You mentioned a loony pastor and it wasn't Fred Phelps!

I appear to have undergone Pavlovian conditioning.

I generally don't post Phelps news. He doesn't make a lot of interesting or especially new and stupid news.

THE SAD PART IS THAT THE PASTER SEEMS TO THINK THAT THIS IS STILL THE LITTLE COMPANY THAT BILL GATES STARTED IN HIS GARAGE. HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT MICROSOFT PROBABLY EMPLOYS MORE WORKERS THAN THE ENTIRE CITY THE PASTOR LIVES IN. THIS DECISION CAN'T BE POINTED TO ONE INDIVIDUAL. IT'S A CONGLOMERATE DECISION MADE POSSIBLE BY THE PEOPLE IN THE BOARD WHO, AGAIN, PROBABLY POPULATE GREATER THAN HIS CONGREGATION.

IT'S JUST EASIER TO SAY BILL IS A GAY SUPPORTER.

Between this, the Discovery Institute, and that incident in Enumclaw, this state is starting to look like it's populated entirely by idiots.
