It's Not About Your Life
We have an announcement. A member of our crack-research staff is leaving us. Yes, it is a sad day. He didn't even give us a two-week notice. He is leaving at the end of day. So, goodbye, Taleil, we'll miss you. Taleil did most of the research for our famous pizza delivery piece.
Taleil is leaving to pursue a career in art. He has only completed one piece, but he believes it has great promise. His one piece is a half-completed wood birdhouse mounted on a 4'x 4' flat piece of wood with all the tools needed to build the birdhouse lying all around the birdhouse on the piece of wood. It is "a statement on process."
This is the second time we have lost a staff member this year. You all must remember when we had to let Reginald [former HTML expert] go because of the incident with the salamander.
Bjorn [in our product placement department]has often talked of leaving but has always remained with us. His business ideas have yet to take off and seem to always involve bumper sticker ideas.
In November 2004 Bjorn came up with a bumper sticker slogan he was sure would put him in top percentile of income earners:
Rummy gives me a stiffy.
We told him it didn't rhyme, but he insisted that that "y" on the end made it catchy. Needless to say, the rest of us found the bumper sticker rather disturbing and to our knowledge Bjorn's auto is the only one that has this bumper sticker stuck on it.
He's since had another idea:
Our troops make me hard.
The rest of us thought this was a bit too on the socially unacceptable side of homoerotic shows of support for our troops. We convinced him to change the line to something homoerotic but more acceptable to the general public:
War makes me hard.
He has actually sold a half dozen copies of that one, but it has not turned out to be quite the income-generator he had hoped it would be. He is now insisting (rather loudly) that the old phrase ("Our troops make me hard") would have sold millions.
By the way, ever wonder...Who is Bob Novak? So have we!
Robert D. Novak was born Feb. 26, 1931, in Joliet, Ill. His first newspaper jobs were as a reporter for the Joliet (Ill.) Herald-News and the Champaign-Urbana (Ill.) Courier, where he worked while attending the University of Illinois (1948-1952).
Following service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Novak joined the staff of the Associated Press, where he worked in bureaus in Omaha, Lincoln, Indianapolis and later Washington, D.C., where he covered Congress.
In 1958, Novak left the AP for a position in the Washington Bureau of the Wall Street Journal as Senate correspondent and political reporter, becoming chief congressional correspondent for the Journal in 1961.
This is just the first piece of our new ongoing segment "Who is Bob Novak?"
Bob is the one on the right.
