irregular times arrow pathsIt is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Unity08 Goes On Hiring Binge … With What Money?

Filed under Alternative Parties, Economy, Election 2008, Mysteries, Politics by Jim at 9:14 am

Don’t think for a minute that Unity08 is dead in the water. In the 4th Quarter for which Unity08 has yet to make a financial disclosure to either the IRS or FEC, Unity08 set to hire a new staff member, the Senior Web Director:

The Web Director will have the following specific responsibilities:

Work with senior strategists and COO [that’s Chief Operating Officer, Anya T. Harris] to evolve the web strategies for a multitude of web sites, including the “main” Unity08 site (www.unity08.com), the college site (www.collegeunity08.com), the Unity Petition site (www.unitypetition.com), the American Agenda site (www.americanagenda08.com; to be launched in Dec/Jan ‘07) and the Convention Hall site (not yet developed).

Work with COO to develop business requirements, technology requirements, development plans and schedules and budgets associated with all web strategies.

Select all technology outsource vendors and manage relationships, timetables, deliverables and budgets.

Work with COO and other marketing personnel to support online fundraising, membership building and marketing initiatives, to include management of the CRM solution.

Manage all MIS for Unity08.

But that’s not all. Unity08 has hired someone named Erika to post other job listings for the organization. Another position they were hiring for, again in the yet-undisclosed 4th Quarter of 2006, is a copywriter.

For these positions, if “the salary will be competitive to the market,” and “Compensation will be commensurate with experience,” how will Unity08 possibly pay the tab on the basis of its meager donations? Or will someone else be paying the tab?
