...short-circuit his national political ambitions. "People will forgive private sins," says Leatherman, "but not a governor lying to them like this. This is an issue of governance. He can complain all he wants about the political bubble, but a governor is on duty 24/7." Even Lieut. Governor Andre Bauer slammed Sanford for being MIA. Leatherman, like many South Carolina pols, is not yet calling for Sanford's resignation, but he says Sanford "can't be effective as a governor" from now until his second and final term ends next year. (See the top six Sanford Tweets...
...Cell Institute will have space in Cambridge by the beginning of 2011. But to make room, professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology will have to vacate their labs in the Sherman Fairchild Biochemistry Building by the spring of 2010.The renovated space in Fairchild and the adjacent Bauer Laboratory will be made “denser and more efficient” for the stem cell researchers. The new design, already used in the massive Northwest Science Building, separates administrative office space from the actual laboratories, which feature tightly packed rows of counters in a large open expanse...

"And it's the same size as every other business card you guys just gave me!" (What guys, Bauer never says, and we won't ask, because that hair is scary). As he leans in for the pitch - "I will never make a criticism ... without offering a RE-SO-LU-TION" - things start to get weird(er). While cheesy '80s music plays in the background, Bauer proceeds...
...Incredibly, though, this guy claims that companies from IBM to Walt Disney have paid him to drum up enthusiasm for their products. The Wall Street Journal even ran a piece (in 1998, ahem) about the pitchman's skills at addressing crowds with "just a whiff of cheerful megalomania." Sure, Bauer's probably living in a cardboard box made of $4 business cards (foil-stamped!) right now, but you have to admire the man's spirit. Or maybe just giggle at it. Because life is not about being liked. It's about being effective...
