I never wanted to make my blog political, but I’m sorry this goes beyond politics. I’ve never been so embarrassed to be from the state of Illinois as I have been after seeing the former governor Rod Blagojevich on “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC. If you didn’t happen to watch an episode let’s just say he doesn’t have a clue on how to use any piece of technology. Anything from turning on a MacBook, sending e-mails, text messaging or even operating a digital camera. I’m not even stretching the truth here, his other team members were constantly left in shock as how the former governor of Illinois didn’t even know how to type on a computer, let alone send a single e-mail.
Excuse my language, but how the fuck did someone so technologically backward become the governor of a state? Tech is huge industry in Illinois and I’m sorry, but I want a governor who understands tech to represent the tech industry and bring jobs and more business into Illinois.
Rod Blagojevich, I’m glad you’re out of office… Grandparents these days have Facebook accounts, 10 year-olds are running around text messaging and you can’t even turn on a MacBook…
I know you’ll never read this as there’s no chance in hell you’ve got Google Alerts setup.

Nice post. Surprised to hear that someone actually watches Celebrity Apprentice though.
I had a disastrous executive job for 30 days a few years ago. The CEO’s favorite line was “We’re not going to be Web 2.0, we’re Web 3.0!” He had a full time executive assistant who’s primary jobs were to print out his email for him and clean up when his lap dog shat on the floor. You may be surprised to learn that the company did not set the world on fire.

I only like watching to see what tasks they get assigned and how they handle it… don’t really care about the actual participants. It surprises me everyday to learn how many CEO’s like that one exist in the business world.

The government should take attention to the point raised by you, but i think the government has no capability to do so….
