Bono Urges America To Turn Its Back On Donald Trump

If you happen to meet one of America’s “wise people of conscience” anytime soon, tell them not to vote for Donald Trump, because Bono said so.

Renowned for his big mouth and even bigger bank balance, U2 frontman Bono has often tried to save the world from the myriad evils of modern life, but can he save it from Trump?

For years, the simple lad from Dublin has tirelessly and for the most part thanklessly helped to make the world a brighter and better place by giving away free albums that no-one really wanted and taking advantage of a worldwide stage to lecture people who have paid extortionate prices for a U2 ticket on how they were not doing enough to eradicate global poverty.

Celebrities, hey! They’ve got hearts of gold and banks full of it.

The world, as everyone knows, can often be a cruel, uncaring, and terrible place, and when you’re a multi-millionaire with a lot of time on your hands to sail yachts, lounge around in villas, and charter private planes, it gives you time to reflect on the bigger things in life, such as Donald Trump.

Studying Trump, much like Yoda would a young Anakin Skywalker, Bono in his high wisdom has deemed the Trumpster as the “potentially worst idea that ever happened to America.”

Trump may have his failings, and admittedly, at times they’re enough to make Lucifer wince, but to describe the orange haired billionaire as having the potential to be the worst idea that ever happened to America, is a big claim.

Trump after all is a human being and has feelings, you know, Bono? What if someone was to describe U2 as potentially the worst idea that has ever happened to popular music?

Besides which, let’s get things in to perspective for one red hot minute here. The trail of tears in 1838, the Dred Scott decision of 1857, McCarthyism, and Vietnam were all pretty bad ideas that have left America reeling. It’s doubtful if Trump, even during a bad day at the office, could outdo any of the aforementioned.

Yet every self-righteous crusader on a white horse needs a hideously ugly enemy with a heart as hard and cold as the blackest of nights to do battle with, and in Trump, Bono has found his.

It’s easy to mock and deride Trump, ok it’s kind of fun too, but calling someone who’s an easy target names doesn’t make you a good person.

Trump Or Clinton? Let Kate Middleton Decide!

On Kate Middleton’s recent tour of Canada, she was no doubt like the rest of the world fascinated by the political shenanigans going on in the U.S., but who would the Duchess of Cambridge vote for if she was fortunate enough to live in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave — Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?

It’s a strange question, and one not normally poised outside the idle pondering of a career driven ne’er-do-well or borderline alcoholic, but considering nearly everyone on the planet has a preference when it comes to Trump or Clinton steering the good ship U.S. through the troubled waters ahead, it’s only natural that a deeply political creature such as Kate Middleton would have an outspoken view on who would be her candidate of choice.

Unlike Canada, which in theory still belongs to Queen Elizabeth, America is no longer a constitutional monarchy, so as such the British royal family do not have a vested interest in Donald or Hillary seizing the throne and claiming the crown.

But although both Clinton and Trump have little of what in old money they would term character, they are both considered, in this woefully superficial age, characters, and everyone has to make a decision between bad and worse when it comes to these two waffling potato heads who crave power like a junkie lusting after a needle dripping with turbo-charged juice.

So, let’s put our thinking caps on and try to guess who would float Kate’s boat when it come to casting her vote, and let the bloody bout between these two slightly obnoxious and nauseating personalities begin.

The book of Jobs five years on

Five years ago this week, Apple’s guru, genius, and godhead, Steve Jobs, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, but if technology’s most famous innovator was still alive, would he be happy with the way his company has changed the world and the way we live?

Even if you’re a die-hard Samsung fan — and there’s still a few of them out there — you cannot deny Steve Jobs’ legacy. If Bill Gates is the technology world’s version of Paul McCartney, then Jobs is definitely its John Lennon.

A born maverick with a strange charisma, a massive mythology now surrounds the man in the black turtleneck and ill-fitting jeans, who, according to Google Trends, still dominates online searches in a way Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and, of course, Gates can never hope to achieve.

Death has a habit of conveying immortality on those from the ranks of the great and good it takes at an early age. Yet even before he passed away, Jobs was viewed as a visionary across the world and was more famous than anyone in the world of tech hitherto thought possible for one of their own.

Maybe it had something to do with his early experimentation with LSD, something Jobs described as “one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life,” which endeared him to people from all generations.

Or maybe it was because the vegetarian who dabbled with Zen Buddhism was a college drop-out who proved raw talent and ambition beats qualifications and toeing the line every single time.

Or maybe it was just because his bizarre phobia of buttons paved the way for the arrival of the sleek, user-friendly, and buttonless iPhone, which was the beginning of the beginning.

Who knows?
