Here's my favorite passage from another in a long series of excellent articles:

Thames evidently feels some urgency about hiring a new spokesperson:

"But now we need to find an extremely competent person to replace her," Thames said. "We'll start meeting next week and then start advertising to find a top flight PR person."

But why would anyone want to step into that job, while Thames is still president but his days appear numbered? Failing to toe the Thamesian line will get the new PR person fired instantly. Toeing it faithfully it will insure that the PR person will be replaced as soon as Thames' successor arrives.

First no toes, then no wheels...I've got this freakish stubby Flintstones mobile thing going on in my head.
