Hurry, where's your piggy bank?

Scottish distiller Glenmorangie up for sale:

Glenmorangie, the last listed independent Scottish distiller, on Tuesday confirmed it was in preliminary talks with a number of parties potentially interested in acquiring the whisky producer, which may or may not result in an offer.

The company said that NM Rothschild, its financial adviser, had been instructed to seek offers for the company after shareholders controlling "in excess of 50 per cent of the voting rights" had expressed a wish to sell their stake.

[...]

The report said that analysts valued the company at up to £300m.

Surely we could pool together enough loose change to make a serious bid. How's that PayPal thing work again?

I'm doing my best. Right now it's one bottle at a time. ;-)

I checked my pockets, and I only have $4.65 (well, $4.68 if you count the pennies). Maybe I can get a loan for the difference.

Or, maybe they'll take a trade. I'd give them Coors for Glenmorangie, easy. Love the Madeira Matured stuff.

I. Lewis Libby Waives Confidentiality

TIME Reporter Gives Deposition to Special Counsel

New York -- TIME magazine announced today that its reporter, Matthew Cooper, has given a deposition to Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald in connection with the leak investigation involving Valerie Plame.

Mr. Cooper, who has been held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose his confidential sources, agreed to give a deposition because the one source specifically asked about by the Special Counsel, I. Lewis Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff, gave a personal waiver of confidentiality for Mr. Cooper to testify. Mr. Libby also gave TIME permission to release this information to the public.

The deposition, which took place yesterday in the Washington, D.C. office of Mr. Cooper's attorney, Floyd Abrams, focused entirely on conversations Mr. Cooper had with Mr. Libby, one of Mr. Cooper’s sources for the articles he helped author about the leak in July 2003. Following the deposition, the contempt orders against both Time Inc. and Mr. Cooper were vacated.

As Glenn says, interesting. I'm waiting with bated breath to see if Scooter's fallen on his sword, or if all the hysterical charges that it was all his doing were just a wee bit misplaced.
