Is there really that much ass news that you would need a director for it, or could your news director just take care of any ass news. I find it hard to believe that there's so much ass news that you would need an extra person on staff to handle the ass overflow.

The news director is based in Charleston and it is too hard to get to Huntington.
An ass director is needed to herd the sheep and spy on the minions.
Bray would do that too but it is so far beneath him that he cannot see the little people.

They REAR-ly get any ass news, BUTT when they do, they want the ass news director so they don't get BEHIND in the ratings. Now, excuse me while I get the RUMP roast out of the oven and have it with some BUNS.

Perhaps they could hire the guy who shouts "Ass to ass!" in Requiem for a Dream for the spot.

There's a lot of ass news. I see lots of smart asses and dumb asses on the news every day.

I wonder if well known ASS Mark Halburn has applied.
Maybe using his well known "stuff it under the door" method.

This is definitely necessary. It qualifies as "Ass News" every time Bray appears on one of his stations.

Ass News Director position no longer listed. Must have been filled.
Did Mark Halburn get the job?

I know a few people that applied, none of them were ever contacted for even an interview, must have promoted from their inner flunky ranks.... :lol:

I was kinda hoping Hallburn would get this job.
There must be some job in the universe that boy could do.
Anyway, It would be fun to watch and see what would happen.

BTW, I left you a message...uh, elsewhere on the board back about the time of your anniversary. How's the family doing? Has the new school year brought some interesting stuff your way?
