You gotta love the fact that despite having hare-brained, lunatic ideas, the tea-baggers are free to spout their nonsense without any government interference.  They proudly proclaim that we have a 'government of the people' yet they simply cannot accept that those same people didn't vote with them in the last presidential election. 

Still, they have over 3,000 people, THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE!, signed up to strike on January 20th.  Let's see...that's roughly....one one-thousandth of one percent of the American people.  Way to go!  There's strength in those numbers.

I love these folks 'cause they're a hoot.  They're the political equivalent of the Flat Earth Society....not that there's anything wrong with that.

Tea bagging plus " blow, stroke, or thrust" all in the same vein.  Hmmm, more like the Freudian movement

And yet . . . and yet . . . in some early contests the Tea Party candidate has been outpolling the Republican candidate.  I don't think they're as fringe as they wish they were.

To which baggers are you pointing towards? There's so many splinters off this battyness it's hard to differentiate between the various want to bees.

I started reading Max Blumenthal's "Republican Gomorrah" a few nights back.  He's describes the struggle for supremacy between the populist right-wing ideologues and country club conservatives going as far back as the McCarthey era.  As I've said before, it doesn't bode well for the country when the Republican party purges its moderates, and frankly I can't see how they expect to regain power by becoming a smaller, more ideologically 'pure' political organization.
