This is too funny:


  As many of you know, the centerpiece of yesterday's Teabag LARPing Performance Art Fair was to be the unveiling of one million teabags, which were to symbolize one million symbolic teabags, fighting socialism. These teabags could not be dumped in the muddy waters of the Potomac, to the delight of kayakers, because that's illegal. So the teabaggers were going to take their act to Lafayette Park, and dump all of them on a tarp -- by which we mean an actual tarp, not a Troubled Asset Relief Program. That would have been far too clever a joke for these people.

But! The State got up to straight up TRAMPLING of the RIGHTS, and put the kibosh on the teabag display. Which left the bags back in the inside of a truck, borne back ceaselessly into the past or something.

And so, that left people with one unresolved question: What happened to the teabags? Did they end up on a cross country jaunt? Did they get sent to the Dharma Initiative? Did anyone come to the realization: "Hey! I bet we could make tea with these things?" As it happens, the press stayed on the case.

From today's Washington Post:

Finally, the truck's driver, who had been wandering around town for hours after an overnight drive from Georgia, found a place to unload the cargo: 12 floors up in a downtown advocacy group.

That's right. One million teabags finally found a home in a conference room at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, JUST AS NOSTRADAMUS SAID THEY WOULD. The Post got a picture of the greatest political demonstration to ever take place in a downtown conference room.



Gaze on that image, and tell me if your patriotic heart doesn't swell with, "Seriously, guys, you need to move these things by three so we can go over the new HR policies."



Glenn Beck also got really patriotic and started supporting the Texas secessionists... wait, seceding from the USA isn't patriotic!

Republicans, why do you hate America? If you don't like it then you can leave, just use the tax cut Obama gave ya and buy a plane ticket. And if you make over 250k and didn't get a tax cut, then you obviously have enough money to buy a ticket outta here, and if you leave and renounce your citizenship then you won't have to pay!

(For those who missed it, the last paragraph was supposed to be ironic).

I must close with a sign showing the strong level of intellect at these tea parties:



And who does this look like?:

Its unfortunate the neocons co-opted the tea party stuff =/ Supporting secession in the face of tyranny would be a fairly patriotic thing to do, btw. Right to secession was a fairly large issue during the signing of the Constitution, and recognized as a necessary check on government. Unfortunately that's all changed since Lincoln, but that doesn't mean you should ridicule the idea before actually considering it.

Edit:
Some stuff on the tea party stuff from the libertarian viewpoint:

I actually agree with you overall. First, it's a shame the right wing nutjobs hijacked the tea parties, and that the republican moveon (freedom works, or something like that) decided to take a big role in organizing / funding it. I don't agree with libertarians on everything, but I respect their commitment to the constitution and think they have some good ideas. I have big disagreements also, but they don't drive me as crazy as republicans do these days.

As for secession in the face of tyranny I agree. But I don't see any tyranny to secede from - I see a democratically elected government.
