Does anybody here actually know Steve Jobs?
I would really like to pitch an idea for a Liberal media project to him, but without an introduction, it would never get to his desk.

1. I know one guy who knows him
and he says Jobs is almost Bolton-esque in his management style. Good luck!

You'd probably have better luck talking to Al Gore or MoveOn.

2. I'm prepared for that.
I've been told "No" before.

I don't know him, but he seems approachable.

8. He could do it too, I think.
And I know he is a decent guy. Actually, I used to have some contact with him a decade ago, but I no longer know how to reach him.

6. I am SO self-funded now...
That I'm bled white.

And the money is not for me, but for a more ambitious project that would give grants to needy Liberal Media sources. I wouldn't even qualify as White Rose is making it on its own, barely.

7. In that he is a lot like me.
I am a total nerd. (As if you hadn't figured that out already...)
