Level of Insanity - MW in Sweden - The Most Wanted in Sweden
2008-05-31 14:07:00 How to Keep a Healthy Level of Insanity * Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.) * Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.) * Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky". "No I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Sport." * Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you're doing. For example "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom." * "Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost your shoes since you did this. * While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive." * Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day. * Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document....

The Absolute Insanity of Recruiting REALTORS
2008-05-14 06:33:00 Here's an update to some thoughts posted in the past on "recruiting" and "retention" in real estate. Brokers worldwide spend an incredible amount of time "finding people" to join their company and then going to extremes when others wish to leave it. It's a constant scurrying-about of energy, time, money and frankly - waste. No other industry, certainly no other worthwhile sales industry, goes through such crazy contortions to grow its business. For decades, "recruiting and retention" topics have attracted packed rooms at conventions; new schemes, gimmicks and tricks have been taught and tried; brokers have done just about every extreme, from offering 100% commissions to creating exit strategies. And, if the numbers prove correct, none of it works. Every wonder why? Find out here...

Mary Smith, aged 51, had been accused of starting debris on fire to keep warm in a stairwell of an apartment building on March 10. She was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated arson and, after a three-day trial, Cook County Circuit Court Judge James ordered her transfer to a mental-health facility where she will be evaluated Evidence in the case included a videotape of an interview with police in which Smith initially denied starting the fire, but later admitted to using matches to ignite debris, including a dollar bill. acqueline Ross, Smith's defense attorney, said of the verdict: "It doesn't mean she didn't do it, [but] she was unable to appreciate the criminality of what she was doing."

Bring em on!
2008-04-21 05:59:00 I have spent the last several years trying figure out if the Bush/Cheney administration and the neocons are stupid and delusional, just plain crazy or if there is some bizarre method to their madness. I'm beginning to think it must be all of the above. They are constantly ranting about Iran but they have and continue to do all of Iran's dirty work in Iraq. They toppled Iran's arch enemy, Saddam, they put the most pro-Iranian elements in Iraq in power and they continue to defend those elements with US blood and treasure. The latest example is this:Iraqi Army Takes Last Basra Areas From Sadr Force But of course they didn't do it alone. BAGHDAD ? Iraqi soldiers took control of the last bastions of the cleric Moktada al-Sadr?s militia in Basra on Saturday, and Iran?s ambassador to Baghdad strongly endorsed the Iraqi government?s monthlong military operation against the fighters.By Saturday evening, Basra was calm, but only after air and artillery strikes by American and British forc...

Great momments in wingnuttery
2008-04-18 07:13:00 As if one failing occupation wasn't enough we have the wingnut post of the day from Dr. Rusty Shackleford:The Two Wars in Iraq & Mistaken Republican Support for ObamaFirst we have this: Bush screwed the pooch in Iraq. There is a good argument to be made that we should not have invaded in the first place.* There is no good argument that we should leave.Well he's half right and that's an improvement but it goes downhill from there. This conclusion is inevitable when one comes to the same realization as me. There was a war in Iraq and there is a war in Iraq. In fact, we've had two wars in Iraq: Iraq War I & Iraq War II.The war now is not the same as that war. The first war in Iraq was against Saddam Hussein, the second war is against Islamists of various stripes, but mainly al Qaeda.Give me a break, "the second war is against Islamists of various stripes, but mainly al Qaeda". Not even the Pentagon or the Bush administration make such claims anymore. You're not paying atte...
Clueless, Dangerous Idiots-Hot Air Edition
2008-04-14 17:32:00 The other day I discussed how clueless the neocons and the Bush administration is when it comes to the realities of Iraq. Not to be outdone our friend Ed Morrissey writing at Hot Air proves he is either in denial or just as clueless.Iraqis aren?t stupid ? and they?re watching us As Michael reminds us, we can argue over 2002-3 all we want, but it doesn?t have anything to do with 2008. We are in Iraq, and al-Qaeda is arrayed against our troops. In fact, this is the best possible situation if we want to fight terrorists ? to have them on a battlefield in straight-up fights against our military. It?s exactly what terrorists don?t want. If they wanted to fight our military, they wouldn?t use bomb commuter trains and fly civilian airplanes into their targets.OK, Ed is even more delusional than the administration - not even they think al-Qaeda is a significant force is Iraq. He then goes on to say that al-Qaeda wants us to leave Iraq - nothing could be further from the truth. Both al-Qaeda...
Clueless, Dangerous Idiots
2008-04-12 19:33:00 The Bush/Cheney administration and the neocons are truly clueless - dangerous - idiots.Iran Top Threat To Iraq, U.S. Says Last week's violence in Basra and Baghdad has convinced the Bush administration that actions by Iran, and not al-Qaeda, are the primary threat inside Iraq, and has sparked a broad reassessment of policy in the region, according to senior U.S. officials.Evidence of an increase in Iranian weapons, training and direction for the Shiite militias that battled U.S. and Iraqi security forces in those two cities has fixed new U.S. attention on what Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates yesterday called Tehran's "malign" influence, the officials said.The intensified focus on Iran coincides with diminished emphasis on al-Qaeda in Iraq as the leading justification for an ongoing U.S. military presence in Iraq.Yes, they are still looking for an excuse to attack Iran. And if they do? It would appear they are oblivious to the fact that the ISCI and Da'wa party are even closer t...
Global Warming Causes Insanity?(Well, It?s Driving Me Crazy Anyway)
2008-04-09 19:44:00 Now, the “experts” are blaming global warming for…wait for it…mental problems: Establishing a link between climate change and mental health, the World Health Organisation has said extreme weather conditions like floods, droughts and natural calamities can lead to psychiatric illnesses. “Psychosocial illnesses are a part of the various health issues associated with climate change,” Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Deputy Regional Director, WHO, said. Anticipating that severe flooding may become more frequent due to global warming, a WHO report said that independent studies in cyclone-affected Orissa and a flooded town in England has shown that post-traumatic stress disorder syndromes of different severity in affected people even after an year. OH GREAT CAESAR’S GHOST, GIMME A BREAK!! Now we are being told that since there are all these extreme weather events, people are getting PTSD, and that is global warming’s fault.

The Opposite of Insanity - 3 Steps to Create a Positive Development Plan
2008-03-26 20:25:00 "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein, German Theoretical Physicist, Albert Einstein books//How many insane people do you know? If you're life is like mine, you probably run into people who just don't get it quite often. They complain about problems and frustrations, but they never change their behavior. Instead, they continue to do the same things over and over again, as Einstein says, and expect things to magically get better.The opposite of insanity is doing the right things over and over again and producing superior results.People who consistently achieve great results understand that they get there by leveraging their strengths and repeating positive behaviors more often. They don't spend a lot of time correcting their errors or addressing their weaknesses, but rather they find ways to make good things great. Their goal is to achieve superior results in a few areas, as opposed to medioc...
Disgusted
2008-03-23 04:58:00 I haven't been posting much - the reality is I'm tired of the bull shit. I've been working on my art and reading Science Fiction instead. I already know that McCain is a dangerous idiot so more evidence of that only bores me. I'm fed up with the Democratic primary campaign although I still think Obama is the best choice but best isn't always all that great. What really disgusts me though are the infantile supporters of Hillary that say they won't vote for Obama and the infantile Obama supporters who say they won't vote for Hillary. Fine - you will get the country you deserve to have. But guess what assholes it's not what everyone else deserves. I don't deserve it, my kids and grand kids don't deserve it, the people of Iraq don't deserve it, the world doesn't deserve it. This game is far too important for you to take your ball and go home so grow up.

Lawyer Seeks Insanity Plea in Microwave Baby Case
2008-03-18 13:00:00 Lawyers are seeking an insanity plea for an Arkansas man on trial for placing his 2-month old daughter in a microwave oven last May 10. Joshua Joyce Mauldin, 20, of Warren Arkansas has been charged with causing injury to a child and faces a potential life sentence. According to his attorney, Sam Cammack III, Mauldin has a longstanding history of psychiatric problems including auditory hallucinations and mood swings and has been on medication since the age of 10. Despite concerns about his mental state, his family had accompanied him to Galveston, Texas when he reported hearing a call from God to become a preacher. After they checked into a motel, he was left alone with his daughter, Anna, as the rest of the family went to get food. He reportedly became agitated while feeding her and locked the motel room door. Mauldin then placed the infant in the microwave after first placing her in the motel room safe and refrigerator. Although he removed her immediately afterwards, Anna susta...

Navy Adm. William Fallon, the head of U.S. Central Command, which leads U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, is stepping down, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Tuesday.Fallon claimed ongoing misperceptions about differences between his ideas and U.S. policy are making it too difficult for him to operate, Gates said, agreeing. He added that the differences are not extreme, but the misperception had become too great."I believe it was the right thing to do, even though I do not believe there are, in fact, significant differences between his views and administration policy," Gates said, noting that he accepted the request to retire with "reluctance and regret.""I don't know whether he was mis...

Yesterday Bill Kristol accused Obama of hating America because he won't ware a flag lapel pin. Well this should send Bill and the rest of the lunatics up the wall:Obama: Pro-Israel needn't be pro-Likud "I think there is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud ap-proach to Israel, then you're anti-Israel, and that can't be the measure of our friendship with Israel," leading Democratic presidential contender Illinois Senator Barack Obama said Sunday."If we cannot have an honest dialogue about how do we achieve these goals, then we're not going to make progress," he said.He also criticized the notion that anyone who asks tough questions about advancing the peace process or tries to secure Israel by anyway other than "just crushing the opposition" is being "soft or anti-...
Another night of insanity Saturday night in Nřrrbebro...
2008-02-17 20:33:00 Or not. To follow up the last post, this was the scene in the heart of Nřrrebro last evening. The same place that continues to take a whacking in the media owing to all the so-called rioting, protesting and such.On the ice rink at Blĺgĺrds Plads last night as I cycled by, I was attracted by the sound of reggae music, and the sight of families and children skating and playing on the ice. A DJ was playing at a small stage set up on one end of the rink, and bright spotlights illuminated the ice. It was a great atmosphere.Of course, this was a stark contrast to the portrayal of an unsafe area of the city, out of control and in the grip of violent and out of control gangs and 'rioters' and the like.Unsafe? Dangerous? Yeah, if you slip on the ice and manage to crack your head open, perhaps.Don't believe a word about Nřrrebro being out of control these past few days - anyone talking such talk is talking from their ass.

2008-01-23 15:23:00 From : Twenty Four Hours a Day, Jan. 23: "Alcoholics... are always making the same mistakes and suffering the same consequence over and over again...".Well, it's not only alcoholics who do this. In fact, in program, we often hear the slogan: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.How many of us are caught in this vicious trap, or cycle -of repeating our same mistakes over and over, but thinking that this time something different will happen?I know that I was stuck in that rut for a very long time. Over and over, I would react the very same way to the very same triggers, but had convinced myself that "next time" would be different. The truth is, (and here goes another program slogan) - If nothing changes, then nothing changes.That goes well with people who keep saying "I'll try". Well, guess what, there isn't much use in trying, if we don't actually change something. 'Try' usually (or well, to be fair, - often) means that I will th...

Rolling Stone's 25 Top Songs About Insanity

This week, though, is different as it seems those classic artists are great at writing about insanity.In reality, rock music has always had it's share of music on the subject, so it's no surprise that the list was easily filled and some good candidates left off (is there a better song on the subject than the jazz classic Twisted as recorded by Joni Mitchell and Bette Midler? ...and where's They're Coming To Take Me Away?)Here are the editors and readers choices:Brain Damage - Pink FloydParanoid - Black SabbathWhere is My Mind? - PixiesWelcome Home (Sanitarium) - MetallicaClimbing Up the Walls - RadioheadYou're Crazy - Guns n' RosesBasketcase - Green DayLithium - NirvanaAll the Mandmen - David BowieCrazy - Gnarls BarkleyGimme Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment - RamonesPsycho Killer - Talki...

2008-01-05 00:24:00 Mike Huckabee took the over inflated out of touch DC gasbags by surprise. Glenn Greenwald writes: I love when this happens.
