Ladies and Gentlemen:
Just a reminder that Monday is the Presidents' Day holiday and we should all stay home and think about presidents. Don't work unless you've been assigned to work or have cleared it with your editor in advance.
If you do work (but don't work - see paragraph one) please download a holiday form from the link on our homepage and give it to me.
Cheers.
Ken
So get busy, corporate flacks. Been cooking your books? Looking to dump your CEO? Giving up your much-publicized battle against the world's biggest media company? Today, clearly, is that day to get the news out.
