Hook, line, sinker

Topeka Capital-Journal publisher John Fish has resigned. This comes two months after the resignation of executive editor Will Kennedy.

I love it when this is one of only two stories I hear on the local bit of public radio, the other being a four-minute long Amber Alert.

So which person was this in the ongoing saga that was the Capital Journal? Anyone I would recognize or just an uberhoncho who couldn't take it anymore?

This would be the top dog at the CJ, someone whose genetic code actually spells out "micromanagement."

I have found a plausible explanation for his resignation online, but it's just a theory and I don't want to say anything about it until we get official word. Though the "official" word with resignations from Topeka has differed greatly from reality as of late....

Ahhhh, I see. Well, I can't wait for the next installment. Should be good.

Are you feeling okay? Can I get you anything since your Bee is gone? Food? Movie? Cordless Drill?

I have three priorities this week:

-- Feed the pigs
-- Feed my Sims
-- Feed myself

...in that order, actually.

I'm trying not to venture too far away from the house, lest I get heart-pangs for being away from the flock. But I do feel a hankerin' for pepperoni-lovers' pizza, since Bee likes it not....

And is Hastings open or not? And if so, at which location? I drove by today and honestly couldn't tell.

Hastings is closed both places until the 17th around five-ish, I believe. Aha, here it is. Per the Merc: "Hastings is scheduled to open at 5 p.m. Sept. 17." But I have my suspicions. That same article stated that anyone who has a movie out that is due before Thursday can keep it until then with no penalty. But if they're opening Friday...I dunno. Sounds like Thursday might be a sneak preview or something. Or it could just be a Merc misprint.

I can deliver pizza. What is pepperoni-lovers'? Is it just super pepperoni? Is it from Pizza Hut or somewhere else? Do you also need soda?

Ah, the Merc, cornerstone of American journalism. I still consider it the #2 paper in town, and next to what the Collegian's become, that's saying something.

I was kinda joking re:pizza, but yeah, it is a Hut-invention, if you're bound and determined to come crashing through the ramparts with food. I think I might need to go on a Pepsi Twist run at some point, too. Mmm, Twist.

And only one Simpsons per night on KTMJ now. Pig-dogs.

Okay, I will pick up a pepperoni-lovers' (it's already ordered) and some pepsi twist and be by as soon as I can. Not much I can do about the Simpsons, though. My angel-of-mercy powers only extend so far... :)

See you in a bit.

*spews water all over monitor*

Damn, that's funny. Yeah K.Adams called me yesterday to tell me the news. Fish is heading for sort of my neck of the woods -- Naples (holy gawd, if he can afford to live there, I want his salary....). What's the reason you heard for resignation? (Post in a locked post perhaps?) K didn't really tell me why, other than it's likely a political thing. Will gone so Fish has no lackey to boss around.

Funny, the promised statement on the website never came. And it's been a full day since the radio had it and no other news outlet in Topeka has breathed word one. Dammit.

My first suspicion is it's a political thing (KA did give you the inside scoop on Will's resiguhmwhatever, yes?), but the alternate theory is less pleasant. F-locked post to come, after Simpsons with the pigs.
