All that is old is new again

GLAAD announced today that they've hired someone to work in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is what their press release said:

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) announced today the hiring of Juan Barajas as a Senior Director to be based in the San Francisco/Bay Area. In this new role, Barajas will report directly to GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano and will be responsible for strengthening GLAAD’s media advocacy and anti–defamation work in the region in its many forms and collaborating with other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and allied organizations.

For those of you who do not understand GLAAD-speak, let me translate: "People in San Francisco won't give us money because we don't have an office there (yes, we closed our office there years ago). We've tried to make it seem like we care about San Francisco by holding a lame awards ceremony there, but it hasn't worked out so well. Therefore, we're sending Mr. Barajas to see how much money he can bilk out of the San Francisco gays."

Does anyone want to place bets on how long he stays?
