So I'm thinking about Going to the Tea Party in Madison
I got an email from the College Republicans saying, blah, blah, blah and then in big letters.

ENOUGH raising our Taxes
ENOUGH driving jobs from Wisconsin
ENOUGH altering our way of life

What they're talking about, I have no clue.

So I think I wanna go and disrupt in a clever, mocking fashion, possibly playing with the words teabagging.

Any ideas?

1. Just bring my two favourite 'taking the piss' protest banners:
From the Irish comedy Fr Ted:



"Careful now"

"Down with this sort of thing"

2. How about a sign like "Shift My Taxes to The Poor"
I am considering doing the same if there is a teabaggin' nearby.

3. No ideas. My own is to let them have their fun. The fewer people participating
in any capacity, the dumber they will appear.

4. I want to ask them since South Carolina is such a tax haven, why does it have

a much higher unemployment rate than Wisconsin? The Republicans in this state always want us to be more like the South.

8. MTV has a show called "College life" with kids from Madison
I have to watch, but I hate my school right now.
