Apologies to those of you who tried to reach this blog earlier today. There was a problem with the company that hosts the mighty web force that is The American Interest Online.
Following our tradition here in coping with problems of this sort, we’ve ended the practice of allowing interns free access to the water cooler and have instituted a pay-to-store policy for non-executive staff wanting to place personal food items in the company fridge. The strategic goal is to make the break-room a profit center, underlining management’s strong commitment to maximizing shareholder value.
Meanwhile, the senior staff have scheduled a team-building exercise on the new corporate yacht.
We hope that this multi-tiered strategic and pro-active response will further our efforts to provide you, our readers, with the uninterrupted and responsive service that you deserve.
