Tea Pot Rebellion: Iced tea Time: Lansing Loves Lipton

TEA TIME:

The Lansing Michigan Tea Party Protest/rally went very well. It was VERY cold (below the bank sign of 29 F with a rather BRISK wind). We did not get there until just about 12 and so we did not help with any of the organizing (hahaha so odd for us) and were only participants for a change. Our friend Scott w/ AFP :American's For Prosperity (here's the Mi group link) spoke and the organizing gals fired up the crowd. It was an assortment of folks, some RonPauler's (both types-normal and the moonbats lol) some new to the political process, and a few friend's (my NORC buds) and my beloved FAIR TAX (Mi group) (and National) friends.

I promo'd the Fair Tax a bit and after the brief rally promoed AFP info to a mostly recpetive chilly crowd. I approached the 10 items or less nutjob anti-war IDIOTS and could barely contain my anger...I was proud of myself that I did not accost them. Point for me!

WATCH for a similar larger scale event happening in late April!!! My estimate is more than 300 were there yesterday and hope to have double that at the next.

PLEASE FORWARD this TEA PARTY and the next one out...the media barely covers this as you know.

Love our friends in Germany that have the cajones to stand up and say NO to bailing out their fools! "We're not paying for your crisis" You go guys!

Been very busy packing and wrapping now that we've found something...so my rants have been mostly mental (and to those sorry enough to be around me lol).

WTH is up with Mother Russia? They are def getting brass balls and I hope the Obama administration is prepped to deal with them.
Russian bombers Rousted off Canadian Coast...So Russia claims they told our friends up there that they would be doing a flyby---Ummm "hon'ey, I'm going to stop after work at a friends" one might forget, a neighboring hostile country flying their nuclear capable bombers just outside the airspace---not so much.

Fun Facts about the Russian Tu-95---it's nickname is the "Bear" it's the aircraft of choice for annoying flybys and friendly waves, it has been around since the 1950's, the American Cousin (by length of use and longevity-not style) is our beloved B-52 Superfortress, and " It remains the fastest propeller-driven aircraft and the only turboprop-powered strategic bomber to go into operational use" to quote Wikepedia (forgive me lol)... Pictures here.

Seriously, Russia is returning as that really annoying bully that everyone puts up with cus it's too much of a PITA to put in their place. How long before THAT Big Bear quits playfully dancing and decides to go crazy Chimp on it's neighbors?

WTH x2: Placentas being disposed in the Illinois sewers. Seriously, do the world a favor and bury them in your backyard, serve them up to a Scientologist, or call the dang medical waste gang. Story here.

Stupid-@$$ find of the day: " Mayor who sent Watermelon email says he'll resign" If I did not get that stupid email sent to me, sent to me at least 10 times I lost count. It was the one with the Easter Egg hunt being cancelled for a watermelon patch.

Many of those that sent it on did not use BCC and their whole compliment of friends and MY EMAIL is there...sometimes it had three days worth of past names.

It was not a 'funny' email, I never found the watermelon race jokes humorous. I LOVE watermelon and grew up in the ghetto. I never saw a dirth of watermelon eating black people and us white folks standin' around watching... I LOVE a GOOD JOKE, I admit I love stereo-typical humor as well... I am NOT PC and agree with Clint Eastwood that we are too namby-pamby and go to far attacking people on political correctness crap!

Lesson learned here: Don't forward crap that can be taken as racist mockery (that one was for sure), use BCC so all of us are subjected to the lady we dislike suddenly having our email, and THINK before you hit FWD. At least make it funny.

I loved his latest movie Gran Torino and there was plenty of racial humor in there-I suppose when you are old and respected you can get away with more...but PC needs to be balanced with being an elected offical and sending stupid race baiting crap out.

Incidentaly, the self imposed lenten sacrafices I have made of a CURSING ban and my beloved Cola is going ok...fine on the Coke/Pepsi fast...ummm, well, medicore on the (*^$#@*(% speech. Funniest thing is a epithat will spill out and I will say 'damn' as I hear my mistake.

I'm not required to make the Lenten Tradition, but do so as a personal growth experience. Since I try one of my flaws or issues I should be working on anyway, I entertain myself and have something light to whine about. I surely LOVE Coke and Pepsi-and am drinking a heck of a lot more coffee to substitute which can't be good either-I wonder if I am actually having more calories based on the volume of cream I use hahahaha.
