Memo...

To: Curmudgeon-in Chief
From: Chief, YAME Midwest Bureau
Re: Your memo of today


I've notified my staff of your decision regarding this year's salary increases. He seemed to shrug it off. What a trooper!


Also, at the suggestion of the Seattle Bureau Chief, I've sold the YAME executive jet. On eBay, a PR gambit I learned from Sarah Palin.


We still have the YAME Newsmobile, however. It's slower, but will have to do...


Yours in the pursuit of journalistic excellence, Chief, Midwest Bureau
