Training
I've been in training for work all week. It was 90 minutes of information crammed into 4 days. I thought about hiring a Mafia hit man to come in and kill me, but I was afraid he'd walk in the door, get some notion about the class and kill himself. I'd be out $20,000 and would still have to complete the thing.Me: But he didn't kill me!
Don Ferrini: Listen you wanted someone killed and someone was killed. You owe us $20,000.
Rubbish from the bookshelf
Matthew Kelly: Resisting Happiness. Good Lord, Matthew, turn on some sports and have a couple of beers. You've gotten so mopey! You used to be a lot of fun, but now you're a stone drag.Rod Dreher: The Benedict Option. Rod's book, The Little Way Of Ruthie Leming is awesome. This one is an abject surrender to the modern world. Rod wants us to crawl into a Catholic bunker to weather the storms of modernity. I don't think so.
Saul Alinsky: Rules for Radicals. Reviewed in depth here. Simply horrible. He writes like der Führer, only without the charm. I'm guessing he didn't know what an editor was. It must have been abject ignorance, because there's no way you could produce that amount of chaff and not have some idea you needed someone to cull about 90% of it.
There. That's it for today. Normal ranting and raving will resume tomorrow.

I've been in that training!
Well that or a few equivalents. My personal favorite is one that *by law* had to 40 hours long, but had content for somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes.
re the "humorous" sign -- (Biblical) Submissiveness to one's husband is so easy when he never wants/expects one to do but what one has already determined to do.
