  1. Part of their task is “affect” change – apparently developing correct English usage isn’t among the skill set for “community organizers.”
    “a good organizer is always working to put themselves out of a job” – not multiple personality disorder, just a usage that has become standard to avoid use gender pronouns. Irksome, but we lost that fight.
    That said, Captain Capitalism ought to review the difference between “slight” and “sleight.”

  2. Only a 12 hour day? Must be nice. I’m buried in dead computers that need fixing this week and I’m working 20 hour days to catch up right now. As I type this I’m surrounded by systems with service packs applying or virus scans running. My books are two weeks behind and I’m expecting a nasty letter from the guvt’ reminding me that I’m also late with filing my GST statement.
    I’m doing all this while sicker than hell from a bad summer cold that I’ve had for the past three weeks. I don’t get “progressive” things like sick days — I have to drag my ass into my store no matter how badly I feel. No workee, no money. It’s that simple.

  3. “Sit down at your desk, or pick up your cell phone…”
    I’m exhausted just reading it. Imaging having to do it.

  4. “Sit down at your desk, or pick up your cell phone”
    Damn. I’m exhausted just reading it. Imagine having to do it.

  5. This is a child whose parents have convinced that her lemonade stand was such a commercial success that she should extrapolate her business managerial experience into politics. So she is now a “community organizer”; probably has an office in her parents’ basement. Next step, actually get elected to office and move up the left-wing ladder. It makes sense to me: lemonade to community organizer to POTUS.

  6. “Community organizer” is an oxymoron since, by definition, a community of individuals already has a high level of self-organization. Based on the activities carried out by individuals who label themselves as CO’s, it would appear that they are best described as salesmen of socialist memes.
    Unlike door to door salesmen selling various household products who simply are interested in making enough money to survive, CO’s feel themselves to be superior to those individuals who they are “organizing” since, in the CO’s view, they are obviously incapable of organizing themselves into the ideologically correct configuration.
    The last person one would want as POTUS is a “community organizer” and hopefully US citizens will see this before November.
