The Tea Party that Tanked

| | Comments (0) |


While I am usually on the lookout for a good party, last Wednesday's Tea Party wasn't it, so I stayed home, worked on my taxes and brewed my own blend. After all, about the only thing that tea can do is either rev people up or calm them down, which would result in a more hyper or mellow country depending on whether caffeinated or decaf had been selected as the brew of choice to commemorate the Boston Tea Party while protesting taxation.

If the GOP organizers of that brouhaha wanted to do it right, then they would have asked everyone to toss the herbal variety into the canals and waterways. This would have mellowed Congress and the President out and maybe even led to a meditation session or two where everyone could think of ways to cut back on their spending.
