Did you hear about the Trash Bloc? Some anti-authoritarians are planning a bloc for the weekend of the IMF/World Bank protests that would go around Washington DC neighborhoods and pick up trash. I think we can all get down with that.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever seen a good use of
"antidisestablishmentarianism "?

No, but I can tell you that a domain name is a very bad one...

I'm fascinated by the concept of holding a World Bank meeting in DC. So who wins in this menage a trois?

1. IMF/World Bank, who just want to hold a meeting?
2. The protesters, who want to dismantle the World Bank?
3. The dealers and hoods, who don't want their street corners and phone booths cluttered up with protesters obstructing the free flow of commerce?

"The disestablishment of the Church of England was opposed by the antidisestablishmentarianism movement." And?
