  2. Knowing how hard it was not only to track down that series of images but upload them into WordPress so that they looked uniform, and also knowing what Zac earns, I am right now doing some quick math on how much this post cost our company. And, yup, totally worth it.

  4. Sadly, this is probably more coherent than anything he says in a press conference.
