Contagion: An outbreak of familyness sweeps country

Adm. Edmund P. Giambastiani Jr.,, saith the NYTimes this morning, is leaving the military in August to “spend more time with his family and pursue other ventures.

White house counselor Dan Bartlett, the other day, resigned ”to spend more time with his family and pursue new career options.“

Paul McNulty, former No 2 lawyer for the ”Justice Department“ bowed out in mid-May citing ”the financial realities of college-age children“.

HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy, recently convicted of financial hanky-panky, should not do time in the slammer, his lawyers say, due to ”family circumstances“ (he has a lot of kiddies).

In Safety Harbor, Florida, a controversial Chamber of Commerce head, Cyndi O'Donnell, is resigning to ”spend more time as a family.“

In Barnstable, MA, however, Town Manager John Klimm, under fire for buying an expensive house in an unnamed ”southern coastal state“ - for his family - is not resigning, so take that.
