tea parties

Can’t say that I’ll be going to one this weekend. What about you?

Without being too impolite, I’ll just say that from afar – waaaay afar – the “tea party” movement seems to be devoid of any real ideas.

Are the protesters against a return to Clinton-era tax rates? Against government debt? Against bank bailouts? Against a popular, democratically elected president? Against those “brainwashing books“? All of these?

I haven’t been watching Fox News lately, so I’m out of the loop on this one.

That said, they seem to be lacking in good musical taste.

If they’re looking for a real theme song, they should try this one (NSFW).
