I just want to share a word image with the valiant soldiers: fighting a dough ball.

Google seems unfamiliar with the phrase (but its spidery agents will soon report this instance back to home base, for all the world to enjoy). I heard it applied to trying to change a large institution: you push here, and it pops out over there. You can wear yourself out and in the end the dough ball is still a dough ball.

I've never so much witnessed the doughball effect in a single individual, as demonstrated here. It takes a special skill for one to present so many different faces, to appear to be so unresisting, yielding, yet refusing any real change. It's awesome to behold this special glutinous power.

Hang in there, lovers of reality. Keep asking for the evidence. And, be careful. Don't let the dough ball exhaust you -- or smother you.
