PutinToon 21 - Putin is Apple

HUCK FINN COMMENTS: When I was in college (God, that sounds so old), I was a big fan of Apple and Macintosh. Unfortunately, when I dropped out of college and entered the technology sector, I was forced, yes, FORCED to bow down to the "PC Gods" and the always-buggy, loads up like a snail and user NON-friendly DOS and Windows operating systems. What can I say? I sold out to PC and...

DOS/Windows because the business world demanded PCs in the workplace.

But times are changing. There was a time when Steve Jobs had to fly up to Bill Gates and kiss his ass in order to save Apple from becoming a grapefruit. This wasn't so long ago, folks.  Today, Apple is considered one of the most innovative companies on the planet. Apple wasn't the first to launch some of the cool products, but they made it easy to use, very user-friendly and targeted to the masses.

APPLE IS COOL, INNOVATIVE, SMART HIP AND FRESH!

PC and Microsoft are old, boring, stodgy and so uncool. That's why you see those Mac ads making fun of the PC guy. When you look at the Campaign 2008 candidates, they're like the PC/Windows of the computer/software world. I'm talking about both Republican and Democrat. They have no imagination or innovation. Hillary and Obama have to resort to fighting words in order to keep voters' interest. The Republicans don't even know how to get on the cool wagon. They're so out of touch, it's scary. (Now, I'm not Democrat or Republican.)

There's one person who thinks like an Apple. He's over 70, but thinks like a young man. He's innovative and in touch with young minds. His nick name is "Dr. No."

Ron Paul is hipper than all the other candidates combined.

He attracts the largest young audience because he's used to telling the government "NO." He's cool with the young but not so cool with media. The media shuns him because they're afraid of him. He's so different from the other candidates that mass markets think of him as a freak show. But he is what he is. He doesn't bull sh*% like the rest of them

RON PAUL IS APPLE. VLADIMIR PUTIN IS APPLE.

What Vladimir Putin has done for Russia is nothing short of super hero feats. He brought Russia single-handedly out of insolvency and changed it into a super power again.

Apple is the hero of the technology industry. Putin is the hero of Russia. Ron Paul is the hero of the American Constitution. Innovative minds among the old, stodgy, non-progressive regimes.

I hear Putin doesn't use a computer. I bet if he did, he'd buy a Mac. Steve Jobs should mail Putin the new Airbook. How can you not use a product like that?

What would Putin do? Would he put a Mac into every home in America so that we don't waste ten minutes loading Windows every frickin' morning? Those minutes add up to a lot of wasted time in American business! Is this one of the causes of our current recession??

Would Putin ask Ron Paul to be his running mate under The Amerikan Party? Da, da, da... that is the question.

(P.S. This is not an endorsement for Ron Paul. I'm still undecided.)

Huck Finn, Chairman, The Amerikan Party
