How to sabotage like it is 1944.

Stay with me, this is well worth reading!
Not only are there some great suggestions to help undermine your opponents there is some great comedy.
Maybe the sickest jokes is what was considered sabotage in 1944 is now accepted as good management practices. I found this on Boing Boing and they put it this way: Sabotage manual from 1944 advises acting like an average 2008 manager.
Anyway, Boing Boing dug up a pdf of a now declassified report from 1944 advising ways to sabotage organizations.
I just love stuff like this. I couldn't help but laugh reading most of the suggestions.
Healing the wounds of Clinton's spin

It is amazing the litany of excuses Clinton supporters use for why she lost. Non of them ever have anything to do with the poor campaign she run. The amazingly incompetent strategy. The amazingly incompetent mismanagement.
I want to use this diary to review the The Shorenstein Center and the Project for Excellence in Journalism's new report on press coverage of the primary election.
First... I don't want to be a poor winner. But, I refuse to pander to Clinton supporters and pretend I'm not jubilant in victory. Progressives have been shut out of every national election in my life time. We have for the first time in my life time a progressive as presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. This is a time to celebrate.
I know there are those among Clinton's supporters who are good progressives and good feminists who legitimately don't trust that Obama is a progressive and a feminist.
I think there has to be healing from Clinton's spin. When politicians try and create a false reality and false consciousness out of whole cloth, recovering from those lies means exposing the facts as can best be determined through the best scientific methods available.

This primary election finally seemed to be developing a sense of closure last night in Des Moines.
My faith in the decency, and honesty, and generosity of the American people is not based on false hope or blind optimism, but on what I have lived and what I have seen in this very state.
For in the darkest days of this campaign, when we were dismissed by all the polls and all the pundits, I would come to Iowa and see that there was something happening here that the world did not yet understand.
