I’m the co-founder of Motto and I just found your post about our Facebook page and our company. Thank you for posting this and I’m glad you found something on our page that you enjoyed. We are currently doing a series, the first Tuesday of every month, called Behind the Brand™ where we take people behind the brand of some of the most inspiring companies doing business today. It’s mostly smaller, innovative brands, like charity:water, Overlooked, Vitamin Angels, Kopali Organics and Seventh Generation. If you’re interested, have a look http://www.facebook.com/mottoagency and thanks again for the post! I’ll link back to you on one of our upcoming blog posts.

And speaking of obvious charades: the Washington Post can go to hell. Oh, wait—it’s already there. Never mind.

I’ll echo the sympathy you express for opponents and say I’m sympathetic to the leaders and citizens of Armenia who need some way out of the economic and realpolitik jam they’re in. But I think it was highly improper for them to agree to the historical commission provisions of these protocols — and it was highly improper for US elites to pressure them to do so. Witness WaPo’s editorial on the matter, with the unbelievable line: “The genocide issue — and the refusal of some in the American Armenian community to compromise on it — still threatens to undo the deal.” Substitute “Holocaust” and “Jewish” for “genocide” and “Armenian” and imagine any deal worth defending on that basis.

I suspect the Motto Agency offices are sweet-smelling and full of candy wrappers.

I thought I had provided links, but I guess I forgot. They’re there now. The Facebook link takes you right to the page with the alphabet and responses. It looks like someone got all of them right (unless the Motto folks were pulling her leg).
