Those Sumner Nights

1. Who says company loyalty is dead? Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone, a self-described "liberal democrat," boldly dismisses his own personal conscience and endorses Bush for president, saying, "I look at the election from what's good for Viacom. I vote for what's good for Viacom."

Kerry supporters couldn't ask for a better endorsement, especially after Redstone spouted this gem: "I don't want to denigrate Kerry," he went on, "but from a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal. Because the Republican administration has stood for many things we believe in, deregulation and so on. The Democrats are not bad people. ... But from a Viacom standpoint, we believe the election of a Republican administration is better for our company."

This reminds us of recent comments by one of our unnamed friends, whose company (which shall also go unnamed) clearly benefits from a Republican administration. "Sad to say, but I'm voting with my wallet," the unnamed person admitted.

So, in the spirit of selling off your vote to please your employer, we here at Fresyes would like to formally endorse Britney Spears for president. (Yes, the First Husband allegedly had his "young and irresponsible" days, but we know voters don't mind.)

2. Explained: Why Rilo Kiley left Saddle Creek Records. (via Coolfer)

3. Sometimes we get jealous of Fresno Famous because they hired the 1960s-era Goldie Hawn to pose on their website. Then again, sometimes we're glad we didn't.

We keed. We keed. We've officially added Unspun to our list of permalinks, provided he promises not to verbally undress us.
