_While greasy Joan doth keel the pot_

We had to memorize that poem in Jr High, and that’s all that’s left in my memory banks.

I’m not sure what [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=842829) is. Not trolling, but definitely a strange post about knives not working any more.

What is teasing in this context but a “playful” way to stir the pot? I for one agree with **John** : he was not interested in an actual discussion or debate about why Clinton would or would not be a good candidate in 2020.

The only thing that saves it is that I don’t see any actual Clinton supporters taking the bait.

Balderdash. States were never individual nation-states; each township was a separate nation unto itself, until the power grab by charlatans after the Conflict of Springfield vs. Shelbyville, which created the fiction that cities are encompassed by and beholden to “states,” solely to suppress their autonomy. This truthhood is irrefutable to all who cast even a cursory glance at the historical record, but the oligarchs with their false flags and monothematic, tyrannical license plates rely on the masses being so ignorant that they would believe that citizens of heterogenous sovereign city-states would naturally unite in their reverence to peaches, or the husks of maize, or being shown things, or a tendency to stand in tar. It is therefore imperative among the Peoples of the houses of the streets of the neighborhoods of each city, to reclaim their independent self-governance, and restore true Democracy, however many clauses, with archaic and unnecessary commas, it may require.

We aren’t mind readers, so we can’t be 100% certain, but we have the capacity to make judgements based on past behavior. But if you are uncertain, then you are uncertain. I’m OK disagreeing on the matter.

I was feeling charitable. I blame the tryptophan overdose.

The sovereign citizens of the front bedroom of my apartment have paused the prosecution of their hostilities with the people of the kitchen long enough to authorize me the convey their strenuous disagreement with the hegemonic ideas you propound here on behalf of such tyrannical power-grabbers as streets, city blocks, and _neighborhoods._

I know several have already pointed out the beguiling **SarahWitch**.

Here she is adding her special brand of wacko-sauce to the current sovereign citizen thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20622461&postcount=134](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20622461&postcount=134)

I predict here career here will be like a skyrocket. Loud and brief with lots of smoke and flash providing no real illumination.
