A Christmas Message from Fake Steve Jobs

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs : The best Christmas song of all time: Health care reform is kinda sorta on the way. AT&T is suddenly building out new cell towers — “more in the last two weeks than in the past two years,” from what our sources tell us. The Apple tablet is first in line for takeoff. Larry is wearing his mistletoe belt buckle to parties. I’m still above ground and vertical, which is in itself a pretty huge miracle.

In other words, life is good. And next year is going to be even better. So quit your bitching and be happy. Be glad you’re alive. Hug someone. Hell, kiss someone. As my ex-girlfriend Joan Baez said, If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get some mango eggnog and fire up the bong. Back at you soon. Peace on earth. Namaste. Much love.

Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
