Congress As American Corporation
a: Congress ~
b: an american corporation
What: This is a stunningly good take on how Congress works AND how a contemporary corporate organization works. This article describes the passive aggressive power plays that exist in many public and private organizations. "People continue to plot their next move to gin up a new crisis to make them look good and their rivals look bad, because the company's interests don't matter as much as their own. I've seen times when talented people are pulled off projects for some trumped up emergency, in an attempt to railroad the other manager's project, and thus look better."

Crime Metaphors
a: Crime ~
b: disease
What: "As with all complex issues, crime is suffused with metaphors. One common frame portrays crime as a disease, one that plagues cities, infects communities, and spreads in epidemics or waves. Another depicts crime as a predator - criminals prey upon their victims, and they need to be hunted or caught. These aren't just rhetorical flourishes; they're mind-changing tools with very real consequences."

a: Evaporation ~
b: prayer
What: "The evaporation is like prayer. When there is no evaporation of God's Word, your life becomes very dry. Nothing much is happening. You don't see God's hand very often. But if you are full of God's Word, you will pray that Word back to him and the answers will shower down upon you. Your life will no longer be a desert, but a lush place."
