For what it's worth...it looks as if there's going to be "Community Conversation" in Washington D.C. on the 16th. The title of the article about it, though, is a clue that the spin there could be quite thick:

Get that They WILL BE PUT TO REST. Getting a little edgy are we?

Note to Gwen Adams:

No one's listening anymore. Few will show for this meeting. Neither those who trust you, nor those who do not, have any need to go out on a November night to listen to company mouthpieces.

"The readiness is all."
