President Klau, President Boxer

Is it too early to start printing the Klau for President placards? I think not! (And bear in mind PayPal doesn't care a bit if you're not in Rick's district.) Mad Kane and friends have similar sentiments about California Senator Barbara Boxer.

Cranberry Muffin Probability:  HIGH

Just in time for Chris Locke's review of the cover of Hugh Hewitt's book (BLOG) — "Damn, if I'd known I was smashing the old media monopoly, I would've held up Murdoch for a lot more cash that time I kidnapped Anthea Disney" — PR firm Burson-Marsteller is bringing together some smart folks to talk about how Blogs are Rewriting the Rules of Corporate Communications. Festivities commence at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow at the Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto, and speakers are scheduled to include Chris Shipley, Dan Gillmor, Om Malik, Chris Nolan — and of course a member of Orrick's crisis management team.

A surefire way to avoid hassles and (more) tech support shenanigans if you want to get Gmail on your cell phone: tell POP to pop off, just forward the darn stuff.
