Exclusive: More intercepted e-mail to the CFO!

[Martore, Burns]

FROM: C. Montgomery Burns
RE: Ideas from a loyal employee!

1. Let's reduce lighting over Gannett Tower restroom stalls. Why: Saves energy. Plus, easier to spot cowering managers reading Gannett Blog on too-bright BlackBerry screens during your surprise inspections.

2. Hopkins clearly on the ropes. With that Cincinnati blogger giving up, now's a good time to make the secret offer I suggested. (Cash only; he won't take options.) Win-win-win: We get blog. He and Sparky get Brazil. And whiners none the wiser.

PS: Heard through the grapevine my idea about starting a National Shared Cake-Baking and Employee Recognition Center of Excellence in Indianapolis was presented to GMC. It's OK you took all the credit -- since we're all on the same team. (Right?)
