Tea Partiers

I keep hearing clips and reading articles that quote Tea Party-ers saying that it is time to "Take the Country Back!" I am just wondering: Who are you taking the country back from? Who took the country from you in the first place? I'm pretty sure the country has been here all along for all of us. When my politics were falling on deaf ears, I didn't want to "Take the Country Back," I wanted to vote my guy in so my politics wouldn't fall on deaf ears. No one took your country. The US is still here.

A Thought.

I want to get a "WWSPD" bracelet, which would stand for "What Would Sarah Palin Do" so that when I'm befuddled about what course of action I should take, I can look at the bracelet, think of what Sarah Palin would do, then do something that isn't even remotely related to what she would do. It may not be the best guidance system, but it would at least give me a jumping-off point.

They wrote out the year in case you can't read numbers.

Awesome.
