further, my favorite money quote from the article --

As the catamarans beached on Mosquito [island], music was blaring and women in bikinis were dancing. Mr. Branson deadpanned, “Normally the girls would be naked, but the prime minister is here.”

frakkin' tony blair is the utter buzzkill of any party he's attached to. first iraq. now this.

will these guys come up with the one item that is what the earth really needs now -- a drug or machine or something that will make hot, 20-something chicks in bikinis, like the ones on isle de branson, fall for pudgy middle-aged guys (and here's the catch) without wanting any of their money.

when then item gets put on the superhero agenda, then i'll invest and i'll be all in. oh yeah.

If only they'd put their own money where their mouths are, they'd be Apple Corps , circa 1968.

I get what you're saying, FSJ, and while I agree that these guys must have egos the size of Jupiter in order to consider themselves able to positively affect stuff they know next to nothing about, they might actually be able to do something.

I am reminded of the British system of bureaucracy and the cabinet. In America, we place an emphasis on the Cabinet secretaries being experts in that field. In Britain, however, the Cabinet ministers aren't experts in the department they oversee; instead they are good and successful and managing bureaucracies. If they do well, they get promoted to a more important Ministry. This system is just as effective as the American system, if not moreso.

It takes a lot of balls to diss the guy with Parkinson's, FSJ.

Don't be a dick.

Wow FSJ, I think you really understate Branson's accomplishments by saying he's "a guy who runs an airline". He's done so much more. He even had a TV show once.

Walk the walk and if you're going to open your friggtard pie hole...
