Gordon Crovitz takes issue with
Simon Dumenco's assertion that he's the sort of person who wouldn't be comfortable working alongside
Homer Simpson. "That's crazy," says Crovitz. "For many years, I have kept a miniature Homer and son Bart in my desk drawer to call on for management advice and inspiration. Indeed, I must turn to the wisdom of Homer himself to find the right words of response: 'You couldn't fool your own mother on the foolingest day of your life with an electrified fooling machine!'" Dumenco's response: "Given that I know that you rely on Homeric wisdom, I'm newly optimistic about the Journal."
