    You know these guys aren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier when they booked this conference in Tucson, Arizona in the middle of the fscking summer, and smack dab in the middle of their local monsoon season to boot. Can't be anything more conducive to negotiating a delicate compromise than being locked in a room that's108 degrees, 94 percent humidity, and the power's off because of a lightning strike.

    I guess we can hope they'll all strangle each other before the week is out.
