We should send those in to the dictionary people so they have a picture to run next to the entry for "smattering".

I hope someone explained to the dudes dressed as colonials about the whole "representation" part...

A small percentage of citizens like having to pay taxes. An even smaller amount likes the idea of bailing out under performing companies - AIG, big banks, brokers - run by overpaid executives. So, on some level, everyone gets the outrage expressed by the Tea Party protestors. But, judging from all of the signs shown on TV that had sayings like "Keep the Change," I think it's a safe assumption that a lot of the Tea Partygoers are really just protesting president Obama. Oh, and Cody Willard.....Please calm the fuck down! I saw this clip on FNC, too, so it's not a liberal plot.

Quick show of hands- how many people in these photos make over $250k and had their taxes go up? Please step back. Everyone else-- you might have missed the news, but you all got tax cuts and rebates from Uncle Obama and are taxed less than you were under Bush. So you're all about 5 months late in your protest.
