These are musings/artifacts from the wanderings of a distracted visionary developing his trigger finger. Think of them not as the dictations of a man with it all together, but rather, communications tapped out in half-remembered morse code, from a Jonah in a whale, not sure where he is headed, but assuming there's a destination. Hence, like a Jonah, I send out a nice mix of insights from the inside and cries for help. andrewmwhaley@gmail.com.

Ok, this sounds incredibly true, and I think it largely is, but I hope it is not completely so.

My friend Anne sent me this via Dennis Praeger. Pretty funny- wish we had more time for object lessons.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “VoteObama, I need the money.”  I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on an “Obama 08” tie. Again I laughed as he had given away his politicalpreference—just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him thatI was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip tosomeone who I deemed more in need—the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy wasgrateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiterwas pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

From book twelve of Homer’s Odyssey:

Enough: in misery can words avail?
And what so tedious as a twice-told tale?
