You win!

I never realize I watch much television until election season, when I'm overwhelmed by campaign advertising.

Well, this year, the advertising has affected me. After being bombarded with ads by Democrats calling Republicans liars and thieves, after being pounded with ads by Republicans calling Democrats liars and thieves, I'm convinced.

I believe them both.

What does a CIO do?

Describe for me a "chief innovation officer" for a media conglomerate. What does that mean?

According to this latimes.com story, the CIO for Tribune Co., Lee Abrams, is on indefinite suspension without pay during the investigation into a companywide memo he sent. The e-mail included a link to a video labeled "Sluts" that included female nudity.

Well, I guess that's innovative.
