SWNID Policy on Bribes Articulated

Today in the mail delivered to our office we received a modest parcel from an anonymous reader of this blog. Concerned that it might contain weaponized anthrax powder, we nevertheless opened the parcel. In fact it contained two handsome, white t-shirts, size L, with silkscreened Cincinnati Public Schools logos.

Receipt of these items prompts us to articulate our policy regarding bribery:

It is the policy of this blogger enthusiastically to accept any and all cash, securities, real property, merchandise, or services offered by any reader or non-reader in the attempt to influence the contents of this blog, provided that possession of said items or receipt of said services do not constitute a legal or moral offense. We will, however, adamantly refuse to fulfill any demands or expectations for quid pro quo by way of altered content or opinions on this blog.

So we will wear the t-shirts with pride. Certainly they are appropriate for such tasks as cutting the grass, washing the car, cleaning the house, and other manual, repetitive chores appropriate to the intellectual and vocational attainments that many (perhaps including the giver of these shirts?) ascribe to graduates of the Cincinnati Public Schools.
