Times Political Reporter, Lisa Vorderbrueggen, recently wrote about Madison Avenue PR bigwigs calling for truth and credibility in PR spin. Yeah right!

Maybe we could have one installed on the 6th floor of the County Admin building? For a fun fictional account of how this can be played, see Neal Stephenson’s Interface.
