A lovely evening last night with three friends joining me for dinner here. The raison d’etre for the gathering was to bring one guest up to date on a project we’re all part of. She’s been out of town for a few weeks and needed to get up to speed before Sunday, when we’ve scheduled a public event.
You didn't invite me!
Because our activities in this regard are explicitly political and our targets are a city commission – we want the city to pass a Human Rights ordinance – I expect our meeting could easily be called ‘conspiracy!!!’. That appears to be how it works today.
We are even part of a larger ‘movement, with an ‘agenda’.
Isn’t there a New Testament line where Christ says “wherever two or more are gathered in my name”, which he was encouraging? Sounds to me like a call to activism. I imagine Andrew Breitbart and Tucker Carlson and their indignant cohort would find it so.
Don’t tell them about the dinner party at my house last night. We even had pasta; oh, teh foreign!!
You can have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, or democracy. But you cannot have both.

How was the pasta prepared?

Garlic, vidallia onion, grape tomatoes, mushrooms sauted in olive oil. Added some cooked brocholli and uncooked spinach. And then tossed in a bit of store bought marinara sauce (cheapest is best; Hunt’s at about $1.19). A lot of salt and pepper.
Over penne. With salad and bread and beer (for them). Perfect dinner, and oh so commie, pinko, liberal!

Agreed on the sauce, and canned is better than what’s in the jar. I used canned sauce as my starter when I make big pot of sauce. Your dish sounds yummy.

During the swine flu scare (hysteria really) I put in a lot of staples. The Hunts sauce was on sale for 99 cents – hmm, keyboards don’t have cents signs anymore! – so I bought a bunch. And it’s so very good. Don’t buy anything else now.
By the way, rarely mentioned, but the swine flu event was a huge success for our government. They did a superb job.

Since you made the dinner can you now just stand with a sign or will you also have to yell at passersby.
