adventures in wonderland
When a woman dropped her Chevy Malibu off at a repair shop in Winona, Minn., she told the mechanic, "Oh, by the way, I have a goat in my trunk." James Prusci figured he didn't hear her right. "A what?" he asked. "Yes, a goat. And it's alive," she said, and left the shop. "We cracked open the trunk, you know, so it could breathe," Prusci said. The goat -- painted purple and gold, the colors for the Minnesota Vikings -- had a number "4" shaved in its sides. The jersey of Brett Favre, who is playing for the Vikings after un-retiring again, bears the number 4. Prusci called animal control for advice, and they sent the police. Prosecutors are considering charges against Janelle Riopel, 21, for animal mistreatment, and a local farmer has adopted the goat. (Winona Daily News) ...Riopel may have made a goat out of Brett Farve, but she made an ass out of herself. - http://www.thisistrue.com

mixed metaphors
He swept the rug under the carpet.
She's burning the midnight oil at both ends.
It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire.
It's time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard.
She's robbing Peter to pay the piper.
He's up a tree without a paddle.
Beware my friend...you are skating on hot water.
Keep your ear to the grindstone.
Sometimes you've gotta stick your neck out on a limb.
Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter.

tweeter - did you bring anyone home?
A friend had warned me that, as my three daughters became old enough to date, I'd disapprove of every young man who took them out. When the time came, I was pleased that my friend's prediction was wrong. Each boy was pleasant and well-mannered. Talking to my oldest daughter one day, I mentioned that I liked all the young men she and her sisters brought home. "You know, Dad," she replied, bursting my bubble. "We don't show you everybody." - Bill Stebbins uga2009Sep14

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- First seen by tftd in _Boys Life_ ~1952
It fell to earth I know not where
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity I snoze

Saul Alinsky
the stimulus
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
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.
