There are Democrats, and there are shamefaced Democrats, and the
"League of Pissed Off Voters" is set up to appeal to the latter.
When you look at their website <http://indyvoter.org/>, it uses two
names alternately: the "League of Pissed Off Voters" and the "League
of Independent Voters."

The "League of Pissed Off Voters" just had its national convention
<http://indyvoter.org/article.php?id=72> at the Ohio State University
in Columbus, Ohio.  From a friend of mine who ran into the League's
national organizers at a bar tonight, I hear that about 250 attended
the convention, but only 15 from Columbus itself.  15 is 15 too many.
