    You know, it's a real shame because the PR coming out of Detroit has been so good for the last few years. Hate to see them lose such good communicators.


    Really?

    A common grammatical mistake twice in one quote? I've come to expect better of you Ray.


    Twice you said "less" when you clearly meant "fewer".


    I apologize for my nitpicking.

    Way to go Ray!


    I love the fact that every vocation has a trade journal associated with it. PRWeek, Pipe-Fitters Monthly, etc. It wouldn't surprise me to see WhoreWeek or Meth Lab Journal on the newsstand.

    Aside from the awesome Wert citation reference, this is perhaps my favorite quote in the article:


    "We hate to lose talented people, but it's a sign that we have talented people."


    It's kind of like saying that you hate taking a shit, but at least it's a sign that you are, in fact, full of shit.

    I don't know, Mrs. Potato Head is looking pretty hot. I'd do her with a little butter, sour cream, and some chives.
