The hotel owner would name a price. MMY would make his offer. The hotel owner would come down a bit, then rather than coming up a bit to eventually meet the hotel owner in the middle, MMY would make a new offer lower than his first one. This tactic seemed to work. Maybe the hotel owner panicked and decided to take MMY's offer before it got any lower.

It was pretending to be a legitimate third party candidate when, in reality, he was a disciple of a guru who had instructed his cult start a third party in order to promote a meditation technique. In other words: sneakily and underhandedly exploit the political process in order to promote something else.This was amply demonstrated in a succinct and curt manner by the comedian Beth Littleford on Bill Maher's old "Politically Incorrect" show when Littleford and Hagelin were two of the four guests on the show one night during one of the presidential campaigns. After Hagelin bloviated about some made-up public policy point that the NLP stood for, Littleford simply said (paraphrased): "John, I've been to your website. You're a shill for the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and all that you're trying to do is sell Transcendental Meditation."And then, embarrassingly, Hagelin tried to deny it, making himself in the process look like the liar that he is. And then he pretty much shut up for the rest of the program.Littleford, along with John Colbert, used to be one of about four correspondents on "The Daily Show" before John Stewart replaced Craig Kilbourn as host.So here's this comedian who, in one short paragraph, took apart the venerable greatest scientist in the world, His Excellency Doctor John Hagelin (did I leave out any officially designated superlatives or titles?).

Some how, I don't think eating organic is an important issue in American life. I think the average person may pick up fresh foods with the organic label if given a choice in their favorite super market, if it doesn't cost that much more. But few people will drive out of the way to find organic foods or demand that choice at their local grocer.
