SPIN
A colleague at work found himself defending the organization as the rest of the room laughed at what for those of us in "overhead" (non-client facing) folks was just the producing of one more annoyance.
I wound up calling him Goebelles, which reminded me of this article I bookmarked three or four years ago:
[okay, blogger.com isn't cooperating with the insert link feature, so here it is -- cut and paste it, if you want to read the article. I really hate computers at the end of the day: http://freespace.virgin.net/christopher.arkell/london.miscellany/m35/spin.htm ]
And to think I agree with this description of what I do for a living. No wonder I love it so

Hey, I was just providing a bit of context. It's all about the context. And the propaganda. (This is what gets me into your blog. Sigh.)
Further to my hating computers, I now notice Blogger has even screwed up the pagination so you can't cut and paste the article. It's an article about Goebbels being the father of modern spin.
I love computers! and that article is pretty interesting. you have a lovely way of spinning a story on how you called someone a nazi into a very deep and meaning look at propaganda. ;)
