(no subject)
Today is turning out awful as I knew it would (see forthcoming twitter shipment). I'm not entirely sure how it's going to play out, but it's not good, there's never good news from work.
This interview with Christopher Hayes from the Nation is interviewey. I like listening to him on Olbermann and it's nice to hear a bit more of what he has to say. Perhaps I should start reading The Nation. One part I particularly like and gave me happy Obama feelings is Chris talking about the Obama campaign working to empower their field-workers:
"Usually, you try to just corral enough people to fill volunteer shifts, but this campaign's field operation is guided by a principle which is posted in every office: "Respect, Empower, and Include." . . . This goes back to Obama's history as an organizer. I went to primary events where he would start off talking about his community-organizing background, then call up two or three organizers who had put together the event and basically give them a pound and give kudos by name. The idea of a presidential candidate giving props to a field organizer gave me goose bumps."
Back to my horrible day!
