We seek an emergency Executive Order, blocking an application by Jim Hopkins of San Francisco to register a slogan for a secret new chain of rogue corporate blogs modeled after his existing site (a blog so unwholesome, we do not utter its name in our Corporate office).

A shitty company deserves a kick-ass blog
I'm trying to earn $6,000 quarterly, mostly through sponsorships of $5 per reader, plus limited ad sales. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green sidebar, upper right. Or mail cash/checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.* POTUS

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
