ATTENTION: ALL CNN AFFILIATES
CONFIDENTIAL MEMO

Late Programing Change
Guests -- Larry King Live
Friday, 9 p.m., Dec. 12, 2012

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Ed
Conrad will NOT appear on Larry King Live on
Wednesday, Jan. 7

Nor at any time in the foreseeable future.

As you know, our programming preferences are
over-the-hill actresses, politicians who speak
out of both sides of their mouth, serial killers,
con artists, bag-of-wind preachers and, of course,
the occasional tyrant or two.

We, too, cannot deal with Ed Conrad's substantial
physical evidence that Man is as Old as Coal or
that nobody -- not even tyrants like Hitler, Bill
O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh -- roasts in hell.

Please keep this correspondence strictly confidential.
For God's sake, don't breathe a word to the press.

Ralston S. Parkwood
Executive Programming Director

=======================

A SINCERE APOLOGY TO OUR AFFILIATES

This is Judy, Mr. Parkwood's personal secretary,
to let you know we've had a problem but it really
is very, very minor.

Mr. Parkwood had instructed me yesterday to e-mail
his confidential memo about the non-appearance of Mr.
Conrad's on "Larry King Live" to all of our affiliates.

I did so right after lunch but I guess those three
or four martinis I enjoyed at our noontime Christmas
party made me a bit tipsy.

When I got back from lunch, I accidentally pulled up
the newsgroups' addresses instead of the one for the
affiliates and inadvertently sent the memo to maybe
50-60 newsgroups.

It was really an innocent mistake that often happens
in a big office like this. I doubt that any harm has
been done. Besides, I really doubt if anyone in the
newsgroups will even bother to read it.
< -- Judy

P.S. Incidentally, I forgot to include in Mr. Parkwood's
memo the parts that he said he wants none of you
to read.
