We Begin Bombing In Five Minutes: Nothing Is Ever Off The Record



This from incendiopr
NOTHING is ever off the record. Even if you’re not being recorded or filmed, people have memories and they will quote you. Assume you are on the record as soon as you step in the building until the moment you close your car door to leave. Don’t make comments in the elevator or even in the lobby that you wouldn’t want to see in print because you never know if staff members are in ear-shot. If you’re doing a phone interview, make sure the phone has actually hung up before you start to speak. Check for a dial-tone.

If you are a high-profile spokesperson, you must be careful with every word you say just about all the time. This extends to e-mails and social media conversations. In today’s world, anything you say can be held against you online within minutes.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but somethings are just like watching a slow train wreck happen...especially events revolving around some of the candidates in the race to replace Roy Blunt in the 7th District house seat.

I have been following the Longiswrong.com website. It just keeps getting interestinger and interestinger.
