The Hulman youth really need to build a hall of shame near the Museum for a rouges gallery of all the carpetbaggers from the earl era. Although Madame Tussauds will likely refuse to cast as offensive a visage as Leo Mehl.

They also just hired a new CIO, covering not only the tech side, but also the "social media" side of things.

Reporting to Winter will be ... Jarrod Krisiloff, director of New Media & Consumer Strategies.

Take a business worth more than half a billion and run it like a bowling alley. Then start a race team and run it like a little league team. Then wonder why they can't attract significant sponsors and be taken seriously by the media. Ignore constructive criticism and listen to mental midgets like Foyt that think as long as you're a 'murican you shouldn't have to actually show up and perform.

Fail, then repeat as necessary.
