Consider the hornet’s nest well and truly stirred. My last article- which focused on the emerging Tea Party movement- sparked a fair degree of controversy. Hundreds of Teabaggers responded- overwhelmingly negatively, natch- to what I imagine they constituted a direct attack on their principles and political beliefs. And they imagined correctly. It was a direct attack on their principles and political beliefs... which I believe are inherently flawed.    

So, in the interests of continuing the furore- and to provide a glimpse of what Wednesday, April 15th may hold in store for America- consider the following link from the Huffington Post.

There have already been a number of impromptu Tea Party events held across the nation, a knee-jerk response to Rick Santelli’s televised call to arms. Some have enjoyed relatively healthy attendance numbers; others have been more ‘low key’ affairs. The unifying thread that links them is the constant presence of absurdity.

How about that Obama birth certificate controversy? Remember that? These guys certainly do. According to some of the interviews collected by the Huffington Post, Obama was not born in the United States- and that makes him an illegitimate President, a pretender to the throne. He is, and I quote, ‘not our President.’

Last time I checked, Obama was sworn into power by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts- himself appointed by outgoing President Bush.  I’m sure Roberts is pretty anal on his fact checking.

Oh, and by the way, here’s a link to Obama’s birth certificate- for all those Teabaggers out there who don’t believe it actually exists.

The lunatic streak continues with the Pig Riders. These guys have decided that the best way to make their point is to throw on some cowboy attire and take to the streets on motorized pigs.

Yes, pigs.

I get it, I do- no more pork, Washington! Very clever.

Well done, guys. You made your point and you got to keep your sense of self-respect.

The truth about these Teabaggers? You’ve heard from them before- well before they found a neat catchphrase to rally behind. These poor, disillusioned jokers were bleating out the same tired, illogical arguments during the presidential campaign… and look at how well that turned out for them.

Sigh… there are now only 1349 days left until the End of the World.

And only 4 days left until the imbeciles get their soapbox.
