[Re: Loose Cannon: A Latte Good It’ll Do, Direct Newsline, Monday, June 25, 2007]:
As usual, a brilliant piece, strewn with bon mots that the casual reader may miss, the same casual reader who probably receives as many as a dozen financial offers a week, and who might not shred them before putting them in the garbage. Always a good move. This does not assuage the issue of a miscreant purloining said offers prior to actual delivery.
One wonders, would the likelihood of incidents such as this become fewer if companies like the airlines did not mail me offers me 3-4 per week, often 2 on the same day, albeit in different size flats?
As to the matter of the victim not taking a poke at the miscreant: That, my friend, is what baseball bats are for, especially when the courts see fit to let loose said miscreant with no further jail time. One hopes the miscreant finds the judge’s mailbox next.
Not that I have an opinion.

This Chronicle story is almost the basic fairy godmother tale where the wicked witch can’t get away because she can’t find her broomstick. My problem is I can’t tell a Prada coat from a Levi’s jean jacket.
Thanks for an amusing story to start the week.
