my son thinks this is funny

I went to call him tonight but couldn't find the phone. It wasn't in any clothes or my work bag. I looked on all likely surfaces. I called the phone but the ringer was down because I was using it at work for testing a paging program via text messaging.

Where was it? Lying next to some figs in a plastic "box" in the kitchen. Like the figs it is dark in color.

I sneezed a sneeze into the air
It fell to earth I know not where
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity I snoze

some of the words seem a bit off

the word brothers was definitely not used

Saul Alinsky

the stimulus

my response

"Obama Takes a Page From Alinsky Handbook" is probably the best article I have seen from you since I first discovered NewsMax. I have personal experience from about 3 decades ago in Houston that validates the article.

I best liked that the article was informative but not alarmist. Alinsky was a careful observer of human nature. Understanding his insights is important to anyone who must interact with people.

Alinsky was also, as the article points out, very pragmatic. He was able to separate his principles and goals from the methods used to achieve the goals. His desire to read human nature as it exists and work with that, rather than thinking he can change human nature is a great part of the power of his ideas and techniques. - pup
