I haven't heard anything about an executive falling on his sword -- isn't that traditional about now?
I thought I read in the news that the exec responsible was "out of the country." I expect to be reading of his entry into rehab or a shocking confession of child abuse--it seems to work for politicians and various Miss USA's.

That's of the marketing firm Turner hired. No one at Turner seems to really be taking responsibility.
Two things.
1) Aww. People are calling in to our local Public Radio Station's pledge drive with donations in Molly Ivins's name.
2) Can we have customer service lessons for customers/clients/guests? Stuff like "Please do not continue to say 'Excuse me!' while I am on the phone or typing. When I am able to ask what you need, do not take that as an invitation to walk into my office and hover over my desk so that I have to scramble to make sure I'm not exposing anyone's confidential information."
Tomorrow's headline:
Ted Turner Checks Into Rehab - Rooms With Isaiah Washington Who Says, "What a fucking idiot."
I lied, one more thing.
Hec, I am eating my oatmeal this morning. I also have apples in it.
I'm not sure they can prosecute Turner Broadcasting for anything but, like, vandalism (is that what you call putting up posters where it's not allowed?). I think there might be some extralegal flagellations, however, along the lines of a big "voluntary" donation to the city firefighters' fund, or something.

Yeah, unfortunately they probably can do something to the guys on the ground who put up the devices, if only by nailing them with court costs. Also, one of the guys arrested had just gotten his green card, so there may be some unpleasantness there. I hope Turner doesn't wash their hands of this.

I've been meaning to report that I've had oatmeal (the quick Irish kind, 3 min. in microwave) three times this week! With dried cranberries & toasted almonds. Made with skim milk. Delicious!
I just finished my oatmeal! I had flax seeds in it. And some dried cranberries and just a pinch of brown sugar.
Today I had oatmeal with dried cranberries and brown sugar, which I have about four times a week. Yummy!
Big press in SF this week: the mayor apparently had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager (and long-time friend); the campaign manager confronted the mayor, quit in a huff, and someone leaked the whole thing to the press.
This, in combination with the stupid sockpuppetting "scandal" by the mayor's spokesperson, is making life at City Hall fairly amusing.
I rather like Newsom, but dude, what is it about politicians who cannot keep it in their pants? And not just having an affair, but with a married woman?
