And that, says Noam Chomsky, is exactly what the US is becoming. In an exclusive extract from his devastating new book, America’s leading thinker explains how his country lost its way

5. Say you are hard of hearing and see how loud they will shout into the phone.

4. Keep repeating, “I knew you were going to say that”.

3. Allow the telemarketer to fully explain his offer. When he is finished explain that his company hired you to randomly spot check telemarketers on their performance. Tell him that he did a good job overall, but that he is a bit monotone and needs to fluctuate his tone of voice more to sound convincing. He also should pause longer between sentences, and more clearly pronounce the letter ‘s’. Tell him you won?t report him if he repeats his speech to you with the appropriate corrections. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

2. Every few minutes repeat, “You?re going to have to bear with me, I have a slight short term memory loss problem, who is this again?”

1. Mid pitch, stop him and complement him on his wonderful voice. Explain that you are a voiceover scout and might have a breakthrough commercial job for him. Ask if he wouldn?t mind doing a quick test. Ask him to say in a deep husky voice “May cause dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting and shortness of breath. A small number of participants in a recent clinical trial experienced weight loss, irregular clotting, abnormally frequent and/or painful urination and hair loss. Results may vary”

Fireworks

I’ve been watching Laguna Beach on MTV all day, heard fireworks all the sudden, must’ve been from Great America Park. Grab my tripod and my camera and continuosly took about 85 frames at 4-10s each… My camera had my 24-70/2.8L on so had to crop like crazy. I’ll have my 70-200/2.8L ready tomorrow, they should have it again tomorrow… I guess we’ll see…

So I took the Caltrain to SF this afternoon, when we were almost in the city some dude committed suicide by walking in front of the damn train… My train was held up for more than an hour. Too bad I didn’t get to see the body, could’ve taken a few pictures and share it at Ogrish. 😉

Apparent suicide on Caltrain tracks:

An engineer reportedly observed the man deliberately step out in front of an oncoming train, according to a Caltrain report. Although the man’s death appears to be a suicide, the county coroner will make the final determination, Caltrain reported. Passengers on the train were held for about 90 minutes while local law enforcement officials investigated the incident.
