What I Learned from the News

From a Chicago Tribune article on a domestic dispute between new age superstar Yanni and his girlfriend:

Manalapan Police Chief Clay Walker said Yanni has never been a problem.

The chief is misinformed. Yanni has long been a problem.

From a Washington Post article about how much President Bush loves the rug in the Oval Office:

"You know an interesting story about the rug?" he asked. "Laura designed the rug."

Add "interesting" and "story" to the list of words he doesn't know.

From a Los Angeles Times article on a survey about business meetings:

"When people are less task focused," says Rogelberg, "they allow the objectives of the day to emerge more naturally, so an interruption from a meeting is not so disruptive."

I would think up a one-line response to this article, but I'm less task focused this morning.
