Open Left

I almost titled the article

I almost titled the article the same way you titled y1our comment: "the progressive block is teh awesome." No joke!

The "k" is actually intentioinal. It emphasizes that the strategy is about blocking legislation until demands are met. But, so many people have commented on the "k", that I'm considering dropping it anyway.

If no one gets your woordplay, then you should probably stop playing.
