A dutch oven?

Jean has about the best description of facebook, and that was just a wall for graffiti. But...people like to be recognized for even the most inconsequential of contributions, or the least effort, or the most ridiculous, etc....and that's as good a place as any, save for your mommy's house, to get that.

I'd like to say that as is my usual habit, I've once again preformed my yearly effort to reach out to old bones in unification hopes. I registered on Alipac under the name of SOS, even though William banned me for supporting Glenn Spencer, but thus far, he has refused the registration. That guy is like Brigham Young leading his mormon flock into the desert to keep outside influences from weakening his hold. Who knows though; maybe he'll change his mind someday. I also reached out to Michael j Williams (used to be ArizonaPatriot here). He's once again started a forum called let's discuss it. He has me blocked from registering, but there's a chatbox thingee that allows minimal conversation that you can use your facebook account to post there.

I keep ringing the bell. /wouldn't feel right if I didn't

I don't know...

I perceive a big difference between the left and the right is that the first works through their disagreements and work together, while with the second the most minor disagreement is a deal killer and bridge burner.

During the rally period there were "Latino activists" who hated each other but would carpool to an event - all the while berating one another for "lack of commitment" to the cause. Then they would yell "racist" through a bullhorn for a few hours, pile back into the car and berate one another all the way back. Then next week they'd do it all over again.

The individual egos are too big on the anti illegal side, I'm not sure just how to classify it: Individualists; power trippers; cranky, one way assholes; certainly there is a tinge of the far right lunatic fringe to some of it, and the movement has revolved too much around conflicting personalities rather than a common cause.

I believe that the far left has no more than 20% of the population, so how to explain all their gains? Answer: their opposition being divided. The portion of the 80% of the population which might be effective commits political suicide by fighting over everything and stabbing each other in the back.

I figure that if there is 80% agreement there is room for accommodation and we can work out our differences later on, with the exception of genuine racism. I have no time for any sort of racists, white, brown, black, Indian, I have no use for any of them.

I am just waiting for the big baboom! There are millions of us out here who feel the same way, we are just tired of talking.

Dutch oven,

The ubiquitous, ancient, juvenile stunt of a guy farting under the covers and pulling the blankets over the female's head, an older teenage / young adult version of grandpa's "pull my finger" gag - except there's no trigger and certainly no warning.

I never heard a name for it until a young coworker flung it out a couple of years ago.

I'm somehow reminded of a difference between younger men and younger women: At a party the men might be outside clowning around a barbeque drinking beer and lighting their farts on fire while the women are inside mixing margaritas, bitching about their men and pretending they themselves don't fart.
