Tea Party
What do you guys think about these tea parties? Somehow I find the idea of a bunch of people holding a teabag over their heads and chanting, very Spinal Tap! 
Or is it just a bunch of right wingers screaming sour grapes and trying to take the attention away from the last eight years?

Re: Tea Party
Actually it's an Astroturf event highly organized by Fox News Channel. They are desperately trying to convince people that they are covering a grass roots event.

Re: Tea Party
Babelfish couldn't handle this:
"we gots teh gubs."
So I'm bogged down in the quicksands of ignorance.

Re: Tea Party
There was a clue in the Woody Allen clip.
It's like we've gone back to the 90s again.
A Democratic administration labeling people who disagree with intrusive and expanded government as "right-wing extremists".
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...cals-on-right/
If you show the Don't Tread On Me flag, you're a likely turrst.
And then, this weekend, a Democratic administration killing kids*, just as they did at Waco. It's like old times.
*Referring, of course, to killing of the Somali teenagers for engaging in some adolescent aquatic capers. Some mild nautical mischief. Of course, Democrats have no problem killing children.
\ Let's see; fuses lit.
\\ Stands back to watch teh fireworks.
