I'm calling it...

By Lucy Carrigan

the last day of suffering ... and I'm not just talking about my feet.
A guy passes by our position on radio row, lugging a trolley stacked with boxes filled with copies of a book with the very original  title, "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values," written by another guy called Brad O'Leary.  It is going great guns.  Several well-heeled individuals pass by our table with the book tucked comfortably under their arms.  A young 'un comes running up to me, frantic, looking for the person who was giving out these books because he missed him, and wants to get a copy.  

"Did you see him, did you see him," he asks me.  

I tell him he went that away pointing to the main entrance of the Xcel Center, and that he might as well take one of the four copies that is stacked up over on the Fox Radio booth right smack dap across from Air America.  

"Do you think they'll mind," he asks nervously.  "No, not at all," I said.  "They won't mind at all." 

Disseminating false information is nothing new to them.

What does it take

The main thing is a dedication to the community and a willingness to work for nothing or next to nothing to make your community a better place. I think it's funny that the day after the repub's convention theme was service, they started demonizing the term community organizer.
