Hutcherson is suffering from egomania, that’s for sure. He doesn’t seem to realize how he is embarrassing himself through antics like this.

Just a technical note:

“Hutcherson was later reminded that Microsoft’s policies were affirmed by 97 percent of the shareholders last year.”

This might be better stated:

Hutcherson was later reminded that Microsoft’s policies were affirmed by shareholders controlling 97 percent of Microsoft stock last year.

amazing.

I don’t know how th Christian faith is going to survive megalomaniacal morons like Hutcherson and Robertson, et. al. These guys make Jesus look like an idiot with their words and actions.

groan.

Ben,

I would suggest that Hutcherson has very little support, and that is why his initiatives keep failing. There is also no way for him to raise enough money to buy Microsoft. Perhaps he is planning to be a modern Don Quixote tilting at Microsoft.

Idiots may be supporting idiots with idiotic agendas, but they don’t seem to be heavily supporting this one.

This is SO obvious!!! All he has to do is ask god for the money. I’m sure it’s on god’s agenda, and besides, god has more money than, well, god!!!!

Here is the real problem with our ocuntry in a nutshell. Idiots supporting idiots iwth idiotic agendas.

I always wondered why the culture warriors have never used this tactic.I have listened to them moan and whine for over 50 years.It has always been one thing or another.Depending on the day it could be TV,movie studios,liberal newspapers,book publishers,or elite universities.Many of these businesses have changed hands many times.I have always felt that if you didn’t like their product you were free to buy them and turn them in any direction you want.The only problem they face is that even a wowser with money is not that stupid.The wowsers want control without putting up the required cash that it would take to control these businesses.It makes no sense to buy a chain of newspapers and then run the company into the ground.I can see it now.Microsoft run by graduates of theological diploma mills.

He may be an idiot, but he’s no dummy. Lets say he starts a fundraising drive and raises 0.001% (1 one thousandth percent) of the $159 billion that he needs. Thats $1.59 million dollars. He may not even get that much, but I’m sure he can scrape up a few hundred thousand dollars doing this. How come I can never think of this stuff? I still have to work an honest job for a living!

Oh it’s not THAT much of an investment. He only need to control half of the voting shares. That would only be $159 billion. I’m sure his “host of powerful white people” can just write a check.

Maybe the nation of Latvia will buy up Microsoft for him. Or maybe not. The gross domestic product for the Nation of Latvia is only about $20 billion.

Hmmm… maybe we could ask Bill Gates to buy the nation of Latvia instead.
