The Sinking Ship?

May 5, 2006 12:14 PM

Peter Goss Resigns "No reason was given for the move. Mr Goss has served in the role for less than two years, since being chosen by Mr Bush to replace George Tenet." Interesting? Significant? What does MetaFilter Think?

Liquor in the rear,
Strainer in the kitchen,
And Porter in the Watergate.

Metafilter wants to be anthropomorphized.
posted by boo_radley at 12:54 PM on May 5, 2006

Hey - graventy - I already apologized. I did a search for Goss before posting but goofed it up somehow. I hate doing boneheaded shit like this. Wish I could delete this thread. The other one's much better.

I don't think you all are treating this seriously enough.

Porter Goss is an anagram of "To Progress!" Which I believe is the toast Patrick Kennedy made immediately before shotgunning his 13th Guinness.

Now you know.
