Gee do you think....
[Read the article: Larry Di Rita's responses to questions about the "military analyst" program]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bank of America knows its "spokesman" is the same guy who is now in the news as one of the administration's PR lackeys and who could quite possibly be forced to either accept a pardon from GWB or defend himself in a court of law?
I wonder how much BoA would appreciate a few thousand "heads ups" on this.
Corporate Governance
At Bank of America, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical conduct in all we do.
In its role as our primary governing body, our board of directors provides oversight of the company's affairs and constantly strives to improve and build on the company's strong corporate governance practices.
Our management processes, structures and policies help ensure compliance with laws and regulations and provide clear lines of sight for decision-making and accountability. These disciplines represent one side of governance. The other side, corporate culture, is even more important. It is corporate culture - championed by leadership and sustained by every associate within the company - that determines corporate ethics.
One way we build and protect our culture is by aggressively promoting our company's core values to associates at all times, as well as our Code of Ethics. We also know that actions speak louder than words. And so, we foster a culture of openness, in which healthy debate is encouraged and associates are expected to blow the whistle on improper activity. We also do not hesitate to separate ourselves from individuals who violate our values or ethical standards, regardless of performance or potential.
We believe results are important. We also believe how we achieve results is equally important. Our commitment to this principle is the key to sustaining the public trust and confidence in our company.
Kenneth D. Lewis
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
Just wonderin......
I'd say, according to their corporate governance credo, that they would be extremely appreciative.
"Contact the Board
Persons seeking to communicate with the board or a committee should send a letter to the Corporate Secretary at Bank of America Corporation, 100 North Tryon Street, NC1-007-20-01, Charlotte, NC 28255. The letter should indicate whether the communication is intended for the board or one of its committees. The Corporate Secretary or the secretary of the designated committee may sort or summarize the communications as appropriate. Communications that are commercial solicitations, customer complaints, incoherent or obscene will not be communicated to the board."
Please do not be either incoherent or obscene. I guess that leaves you out, Shooter.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"... my wife is from Sandusky,..."
May I ask whether she is SHS, SMS, or PHS? Might I also inquire the year of her graduation?
I have an extremely close friend who also is from Sandusky - SHS Class of 63.
Small world.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"think it was St. Mary's, would have been probably '75 or '76. Then, Kent State.
You're not a Pere Ubu fan by any chance, are you?"
Until I googled it, I had no idea what or who Pere Ubu was/is so, I guess I'm not a fan of theirs.
My good friend is about 13 years ahead of your bride but they've probably swam in the same puddles and drank the same rotgut from Lonz' on Middle Bass or snuck into the same Balcony to listen to Otto at the Piano and throw down shots with a beer chaser.
Oy.
I just had a vision of Pedinska and butt floss. I'm blinded.
Oh, Mona!!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"probably both worked at Cedar Pointe in the summers too, I'll wager."
That would be a great bet. My extra-special good buddy had his first real job at Cedar Point when he was 12. He worked at the Breakers Hotel shlepping beach chairs and umbrellas for tips. Of course, that was when Cedar Point was old and made of wood...real wood....and was covered by Canadian Soldiers for several weeks each summer. Then the lake died.
As a youngster, he harrassed the nuns who lived on Jackson St. around the corner from St. Marys.
Then came November 23rd of '63 and Vietnam.
The world changed.
Butt floss, indeed.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"You know, like lutefisk."
There's nothing wrong with lutefisk.
My Great Uncle Oley was a first generation immigrant and was America's First Flying Ace of the Great War to End All Wars. He settled in Lutsen, Minnesota and on the 4th of July in 1920 they were having a celebration in Lutsen. The Governor was there. The Mayor was there and all the townsfolk were there to honor my Uncle.
When he was asked to describe his exploits in the War to End All Wars, Uncle Oley got up on the stage and told all the people how he became America's First Ace.
He began, "Vell, I vas flying along about 10 tousan feet and off my right wingtip I saw a folker so I turned into him and shot him down. A little bit later, I vas flying along about 20 tousan feet and in front of me, a little higher dan me vas another folker so I swoooopped up and shot him in the belly. He vent down in flames, too."
At this point, the Mayor broke in and told Uncle Oley that he should explain to everyone that a Folker was a German aeroplane.
"Yas, dat's right", said Uncle Oley, "but these folkers, dey vas flying Messerschmidts!"
I come from a long line of Swedish War Heros.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Butt floss is only revealing from one direction.
As long as you lean up against trees, there is no danger of being over exposed.
Remind me to tell you about my Cousin, Tourvald, the Finlander.
