Stewart Parnell, President and owner of Peanut Corporation of America, appeared before a subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today.  The hearing did without his testimony, howevver, as he pleaded the Fifth Amendment. 

As we try to follow the breaking news (including, sadly, a ninth death linked to the salmonella in PCA peanuts), small things tend to stand out.  One of them is that the PCA website, which we have linked to before, contains nothing but press releases, links to outbreak-related websites, and the address of PCA's registered agent for service of process:  Ct Corporation System
1201 Peachtree St Ne # 1240, Atlanta, GA 30361

For help in following the story, the AP has posted a nice timeline of events.  If we know anything, we know it will need supplementation.
