Mailbag: ‘Where’s Gus’ Campaign Takes Root

The Edge: County employees are laughing their butts off at Gus. He's a joke to them and they're scurrying home (even on lunch breaks) to check out the blog. Don't be surprised if some ambitious employee starts selling t-shirts and coffee mugs with the "Where's Gus?" slogan. Worker bees are tired of his act. Somebody needs to create a countdown clock to put on the blog with a picture of him.

DFO: I wish I had a buck for every fellow journo who has congratulated me for having government leaders so thick that they'd issue a ban. A journalist lives to be banned -- or carted off to jail for protected a source. I know CDADave has a countdown clock to the minute Dubya leaves office. I wonder if he could come up with one of those for Gus. Dave?
