3. The Tea Party (TP) dissolved due to embarasing unmentionble ignorances to now cover up.
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 05:54 PM by L. Coyote
They are soooo embarassed, they skipped the announcement and just fell back to the old name, the Arkansas Project:

The TP coalition ...
The American Spectator,
The Heartland Institute,
FreedomWorks,
Coalition for a Conservative Majority,
Americans for Tax Reform,
the National Taxpayers Union,
Americans for Prosperity,
Smart Girl Politics,
the Institute for Liberty
and the Young Conservatives Coalition.

4. I think I'll be too busy
Combing my hair with a cheese grater while chewing on aluminum foil. I think I'll have more fun doing that anyway.

7. re tea bag semantics: I watched Rachel Maddow
Don't let the dumba$$ Republicons know. It reminds me of Wayne's World, when the character says to another "a sphincter says what?" They're so clueless.

8. Just in time for Halloween!



The Tea bag lady

For my teabag costume, I purchased a few yards of Crinoline, a couple yards of cording and a box of Lipton teabags. I cut out two huge rectangles the same size. I then laid one on top of the other and sewed the sides and bottom.

Open up the top and fill about 1/3 with dried leaves. Fold the top in on both corners making a point and fold down like the top of a teabag.

Cut off the top of the teabag box and shape like the paper tag of a teabag. Hot melt glue to 1 yrd of the cording and then sew the cord to the top of the bag.

I made two complete bags and attached them with fabric straps at the top so that I could just throw it over my head.

It was a big hit at the doctor's office I work at on Halloween! We always dress up! I wasn't just any old bag lady, I was a tea bag lady!

I wore a long sleeve black shirt, black tights and black shorts under it and carried a teapot and large strainer!

9. Tea Parties Forever
Op-Ed Columnist
Tea Parties Forever

By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: April 12, 2009

One way to get a good sense of the current state of the G.O.P., and also to see how little has really changed, is to look at the “tea parties” that have been held in a number of places already, and will be held across the country on Wednesday. These parties — antitaxation demonstrations that are supposed to evoke the memory of the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution — have been the subject of considerable mockery, and rightly so.

But everything that critics mock about these parties has long been standard practice within the Republican Party.
