Featuring Blog Reporter Marlon

It was a dark night in my town - just time enough for a cigarette with a little dame I call "Dollface."

Dollface, I’ve got a job to do, gimme a cigarette, sugar-britches. With that, I log on to my laptop, and check the latest news from the AP.

My luck runs cold, it starts raining, and I have to hoist up the collar of my trench coat, and pull down the brim of my hat - just to shield my laptop from being drenched by the deluge. My fingers are shaking - the news is so big . . .

Hilton Hotels Names Matthew J. Hart to Replace Retiring CEO, effective January 1, 2008.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Hilton Hotels Corp. said Thursday Matthew J. Hart, the company's current president and chief operating officer, will replace retiring Chief Executive Stephen F. Bollenbach, effective Jan 1, 2008.

Bollenbach announced last January he would retire on Dec. 31. He will continue as co-chairman and a consultant.

Hart, 54, joined the company in 1996 as chief financial officer. He was named president and COO in 2004 and was elected to the board in January of this year. . . ."

I kept thinking . . . Isn’t this the same mug I knew way back when?

Dollface, I said, give me another cigarette, and I need a light. Thanks, now beat it baby - I’ve got work to do.

TUNE IN FOR FUTURE EPISODES OF MARLON NOIR, BLOG REPORTER!

FROM CHIP HEARTFIELD, June 1, 2007:

"Larry,

At last night’s Nationals-Dodgers game, I was able to snap a pic of your elusive, publicity-shy newest correspondent, but had to include Stoner’s mug in order to do so.  In addition to the Nats actually winning a game, the evening was highlighted by not one, but two calls to Mr. Edward Oppenheimer of Mobile, Alabama.

RESPONSE TO CHIP:  Thanks, Chip, I'll post it at #31 - I had no idea how handsome Marlon had become in his old age - makes me want to unbosom myself and run around in circles!  After all the whining he's done, I had expected an image more like Elephant Man.  ILAMATOB
