(no subject)

From ladyat and others:

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 23
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions
   

"The long history of distrust between workers and management didn't start with Karl Marx or the AFL-CIO." 

If you count the fragment that starts the page, you get the previous sentence, which is "You need great radar today, and that means a wide-awake workforce that's constantly tinkering, exploring, and figuring out new ways to have fun."

-- From The Cluetrain Manifesto (link is to the complete text, which is nice of them.)  Well worth a read, BTW.

A little political amusement

From The Register; probably offensive to people living in "red" states:

Reach out and sneer: Dem radicals speak to the Red States

US must be carved like a turkey - pundits

(Alas, the whole thing appears to be a satire piece; a Google search fails to turn up any sign of a "New Democrat Outreach Program". Foo.)
