WASHINGTON—Saying they spent so much time taking caring of issues in the information sector that they often forgot to take care of themselves, members of the Consumer Technology Foundation, a nonprofit watchdog, confirmed they enjoyed a rare night out this week after finding a sitter to look after the telecommunications industry.
“Sometimes, all the responsibility that comes with being watchdogs can get a little overwhelming, so we thought we’d get a sitter to give ourselves a chance to relax and do something just for us,” executive director Beatrice Nelkin said of her decision to hire local teenager Makenna Baxter, who came with good references and was thought to be more than capable of keeping an eye on the monopolistic abuses of broadband providers while the watchdog group went out for dinner and drinks.
“Some guy,” huh? Has anybody checked into his corporate associates?
