POOR BELEAGURED COMPUTER CEO!

Hey! Did you see the last Keynote when the CEO ran out on stage, jumping around & screaming like an insane person?

Red faced & sweating like he was having a stroke, or a heart attack?

Grossly obese & ranting like a mad man?

Wow is THAT computer company going out of business if THAT CEO dies!...

Oops! my bad...That was STEVE BALLMER, CEO OF MICROSOFT!
Never mind...sorry to make the stock drop to be $25 a share...

What? it's been that way for several years now WAY before the stock melt down & economic crisis?

Wow! Microsoft is REALLY in trouble since it's Big Cheese Citizen Gates retired.

Beleagured Ballmer had better release his personal health report to the public & investors before it's too late!

Oh that's right...HIS health report is personal & confidential since it's C|Net's Sugar Daddy Microsoft.

the health of a corporate executive is a personal thing, as is the case with any other human being. A health problem at the CEO level however can be interpreted as a weakness, and is generally not disclosed publically until absolutely necessary. By the time a corporation needs to go public with a serious health problem of their CEO, they have most certainly already informed the board of the nominated replacement.
