When a pun that bad, that wrong, just drops in your lap, you gotta grab it. With both hands.

As to the crop of fringe groups: There are lots of war protesters, organized under the Stop the War Coalition. Lots of groups protesting the financial institutions, my favorite of which is Financial Fools. The FF website calls for pranks against the banks on April Fool's Day, such as putting "out of order" stickers on ATMs. There are a lot of environmental groups, such as Climate Camp, protesting under the banner of "because nature doesn't do bailouts!" There are the anarchists, because what's a party without the "A" with the circle around it? Probably my favorite fringe group of them all is an artist/anarchist group called The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination, "combining art (and) activism ... to actively imagine a postcapitalist world."

As to the curry: I prefer mine very hot.
