leahfu.livejournal.comThis has been bothering me a lot. So I looked it up on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_organizer
Community organizing is a process by which people living in close proximity to each other, are brought together to act in their common self-interest. Community organizers act as area-wide coordinators of programs for different agencies in an attempt to meet community needs for various services. Community organizers work actively, as do other types of social workers, in community councils of social agencies and in community-action groups. At times the role of community organizers overlaps that of the social planners
I just dont get it. I mean Jesus talked about loving your neighbor and being kind to the unfortunate but he never set up anything for the community. He never "organized" anything. Basically from what I can remember he went places to speak and people came and gathered to listen to him. I'm not up to the New Testament in my project of reading the whole Bible though. Its just baffled me for a while.

tomorrowimokay.livejournal.comTina Fey was "likely" to play Gov. Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," said a person close to NBC's sketch comedy show.
Fey is "likely" to return to her former show Saturday to play the Alaskan governor and Sen. John McCain's running mate, a person close to the show told The Associated Press on Friday night. The person requested anonymity because the decision has not been announced officially. No further details were available.
Since Palin's entry onto the national political stage, speculation had been rampant over who might play Palin on the program. Many have commented that Fey resembles her.
In an interview earlier this week with The AP, "SNL" executive producer and creator Lorne Michaels said, "The whole world cast her in that role."
The final decision went down to the last minute, apparently. "SNL" premieres Saturday evening with Michael Phelps as host. An appearance had been planned by Sen. Barack Obama, but his campaign said early Saturday that the Democratic nominee for president was canceling.
Fey was a cast member and writer — including a stint as head writer — for "SNL" for nine years before leaving in 2006 to star in "30 Rock," which is also produced by Michaels. On Tuesday, Michaels said that should Fey play Palin, she was unlikely to remain in the part in the long-term, which depending on the election results, could be for four years or longer.
Fey's publicist did not immediately return a call requesting comment.

dark-weezing.livejournal.comThe latest column from Chicago Sun-Times' Mary Mitchell, who -- to put it simplistically -- isn't a nice person. Honestly, I just burst into a paroxysm of laughter regarding the column, and you should, too. I'm posting this, as Mitchell exemplifies the MSM. Enjoy.
Also, it's my first attempt at the blockquotes tag, so bear with me.
