"Boss, Can I Have Wednesday Off To Go Tea-Bagging?"

Digging the "Delicious Irony" of the tea-bagging Galters.

The “Tea Parties”, of course, started springing up in response to Obama’s stimulus package, a package whose largest fiscal component is a tax cut that will largely benefit the people in the income brackets who make up the Tea Party movement. That I find funny.

Neither the irony aficionado, nor The Daily Dish, which brought this to our attention, make any reference to the bogosity of the whole "movement," the fact that it's about as spontaneous & "of the people" as a Jack-in-the-Pants® viral marketing campaign. Either way, of course, it's hardly successful. We expect a loud noise, a bright flash in the sky, & a lot of dust for their April 15th protests, & then the sound of crickets, as they note that the political environment remains unchanged by inchoate threats from a few thousand middle-brows. Of course, 15 April is a Weds. this yr., so we'll see how many of these future John Galts are such creative producers that they don't have to show up at work if they don't want to.
