This makes me feel warm all over. The man who quite possibility (update: possibly) is the best obfuscator of all time will offer advice to corporate executives (registration required) on...get this...how to deal with the media. Because NOT answering reporters questions is JUST as important as answering them, don't you know.

Maybe Enron, WorldCom and the rest could hire him with the money that's no longer available to fund their employees' retirements. And I could be mistaken, but I think there's a section in Sarbanes-Oxley that forbids just this kind of hire. I'm pretty sure. Okay, so there's not. There really should be though. Not that it's any skin off my nose, but all you CEOs who read my blog - and I know you're out there - consult with your corporate counsel before getting in bed with this guy. Or don't. Whatever.

Ari - good luck, god bless. we hardly knew ye.
