WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AND OPINIONS AHEAD.

Ok, this from the WSJ:

Worries Over Jobs's Health Weigh on the Stock

Note that the latest storm of "concern" for Steve's health was touched off by a story in Rupert Murdoch's sleaze-journal, the New York Post. I cannot effing believe the shitheads on Wall Street are going to the NYP for information!!!

Moreover, where do they get off hiring investigators to snoop around and track his doctor visits and whatnot. And now hiring doctors to look at pictures to evaluate his condition?! Am I the only one here who thinks this smacks of that douchebag Senator Frist diagnosing Terri Schiavo by video tape?!

Furthermore, it looks an awful lot to me like some of these hedge-fund managers and other Wall Street shitheads are treading DANGEROUSLY close to HIPAA violations in the way they're trying to snoop around and get access to his medical information. I get that they have a vested interest in his well-being since he is so integral to Apple, but for fuck's sake!!! This is going too far. Let the guy be... if there's a problem, he'll disclose it when he's damned good and ready, and if the SEC doesn't have a problem, then the analists (intentional misspelling... makes you pronounce the first 'a' long) need to sit down and pour themselves a nice tall cool glass of shut the fuck up!

While it may not be absolutely precise, it's pretty damned close, given that the data is pulled from a variety of sources (including the UN, the EPA and the US Census Bureau). In any case, it's good food for thought...

In addition to this site, which I use as my home base of sorts, I've also set up an online journal of my experience with treatment for Hepatitis C that you may or may not find interesting.

It's called 48 Week Flu. I started the treatment at the end of March, 2006, with the hope of clearing the virus (so I have one less thing to worry about). Wanna know how my treatment's going? Go read the damned blog... that's why it's there.
