CentrePiece

I'm giving away a little bit of my identity, but I don't really care, because this is too good to pass up. I've got some email out to Centre to find out the true story behind this, but I doubt I will get the straight scoop.

There is a story in the new edition of the CentrePiece today, for those of you outside the club, this is Centre College's Alumni glossy mag. There is a story in the mag on Centre in Frankfort (A play, for those not in the club, on the phrase Centre uses to describe its international programs: Centre in Straussbourg, Centre in London, Centre in Aruba[?]) detailing the exploits of Centre grads in Kentucky's capitol. Well, well, well, though there is at least one Keith Hall appointee included, the 'lustrious Hall is nowhere to be mentioned. Now, I haven't seen the CentrePiece, yet, but for it to be mailed and arrive less than two weeks after Hall stepped down from the Department of Homeland Security and not to mention Keith Hall, the consummate self promoter, it seems to me there are a few options for what happened:

1) He knew his departure was impending and the probe was going to go deeper and uncover more unethical dealings and he chose not to add insult to injury, and he declined to be included.

2) The mag was at the printer and a rep from Centre made a frantic call to have the portions about Mr. Hall expunged. This seems the most likely, though least intriguing, option.

3) The mag was already back from the printer and had to be sent back to be reprinted sans the offending passages, paid for perhaps, by a Centre Alumnus. Before anyone goes apeshit over this option and I get caught in an Our Man in Havana type scenario (If you haven't read this Graham Greene classic, don't worry, I have a Greene fetish), this is pure fantasy and not meant to suggest anything. It's just an option that could have happened. As I see it.

Crit Luallen, the state auditor, who just so happens to be helping to bring Felcher down, was featured in the article. My source said it said nice things about her.
