Email exchange between Simon Johnson and John Talbott about who caused the economic meltdown. Yes, it seems that the exchange was contrived for publication, but it's still interesting.

Easy Way to Help Second Harvest
Tonight is the culmination of the Triad Apartment Association's (TAA) food drive for Second Harvest. The goal is to raise 50,000 cans and we can use all the help we can get, so if you have some food you'd like to donate just swing by the Embassy Suites near PTI (right off of I-40) between 5-8 p.m. Second Harvest will have a truck there so all you'll have to do is pull up and let the TAA volunteers load it up for you.
This morning Dale Holder, this year's chair of the food drive committee, was on WXII to talk about the campaign. Here's a link to the video.
Here's the Embassy Suites location:
Swine Flu at West Forsyth Y
Well, the swine flu is definitely hitting close to home. Three employees at the West Forsyth Y have tested positive for swine flu and are being isolated at home. That's the Y that my family belongs to, and we were all just there yesterday to work out. I hope the three employees get better and I also hope this thing doesn't spread throughout the gym's population.

It looks like a story that Fec has been bird dogging for a while is starting to really heat up. The sheriff in Lincoln County hired a blogger who identifies himself as digital media newsman to be his PR rep. Somehow neither the blogger/rep nor the sheriff seem to recognize a conflict of interest in the situation. Now the PR guy has filed a criminal complaint against the editor and publisher at News@Norman and the Lincoln County magistrate has issued a summons. This is gonna get really juicy.
