I realize pretty much everyone on the internet but me has seen this but, just in case you’re one of the few that, like me, ducked when this Awesome Ball came toward you, have a look. “Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black” – Tim Wise Tim Wise is a white guy who writes about racism (his blog is HERE.) […]

Well, they did it. The teabaggers had a rally right smack in the middle of the University of Michigan campus, here in the heart of the Liberalville that is the People’s Republic of Ann Arbor. And can I just say this?: ho hum. Seriously. You take away the racist and homophobic and violent signs and what you have left is […]

Dave Franklin is running for the Michigan House of Representatives seat in Michigan’s 54th district, a seat currently held by Michigan gubernatorial candidate Alma Wheeler Smith. Dave Franklin hates him some government. And Dave Franklin especially hates him some Democratic Party grassroots organizers. Yesterday, on the Facebook page for a Tea Party protest on the campus of the University of […]

Honestly, I’m just boggled by this. The Tea Party of Ann Arbor is holding a Tax Day rally on Thursday, April 15th on the University of Michigan Diag. Seriously. Right here in the heart of Michigan liberalism! I just don’t get it. Do they honestly think they aren’t going to be completely swarmed by a ton of Ann Arbor liberals, […]

Well, not MY newspaper but the Gannett paper in the town where I work (Howell), the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus. As I mentioned in my blog the other day (It’s not just FOX News, People), the Press & Argus is doing their damndest to promote the teabaggers. That day there were two articles about the teabaggers, one on […]

The teabagger (or shall we say “Teapublican”?) poo is going to really hit the fan later this year. Why? Because Barack HUSSEIN Obama is going to let the Bush tax cuts expire. Well, actually Congress is going to but let’s not quibble. Fresh from raising taxes on upper-income Americans to help expand health insurance coverage, President Obama and Democratic lawmakers […]

Most news outlets are reporting that the Teabagger Clown Show in the DesertTM drew about 9,000 people. That’s pretty righteous, considering they were out in the middle of nowhere on a dusty, windblown plot of desert land and it was COLD! I’ll give the Teabaggers credit for their enthusiasm if nothing else. There’s a great wrap-up with some terrific pictures […]

Today the Teabag Party Express starts it 2010 World Tour in Searchlight, Nevada, home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Organizers said they are expecting 10,000 people. It’s a little something I’m calling the Clown Show in the DesertTM Searchlight’s population, according to teh Googles, is 798. It was 576 after the 2000 census. Holy freakin’ clown show, Batman! This […]

John Dennis is running for Congress. He’s a Republican running to unseat the most powerful woman in American politics at the moment: Nancy Pelosi. He is encouraging his supporters to send Nancy Pelosi a bomb for her birthday. This same imaging shows up as a pop-up on his website when you first enter it. Oh, sure, it’s all tongue in […]

Republican hopeful Brian Rooney, a Tea Partier running for the nomination in MI-07, recently received an endorsement from Erick Erickson of RedState.com. Unlike most people who would flee from such an endorsement, Rooney says he is “proud” of it. “I am proud to have Erick’s endorsement,” said Iraq veteran Rooney. “RedState.com has become one of the most influential voices in […]

The Democratic gubernatorial race in Michigan right now is a bit of a clown show. The front runner, Lt. Governor John Cherry has left the race. A former state Treasurer got in and out in less than a week. Even George Perles, former Mich.State Univ. football coach has been suggested as a candidate. Right now the mayor of Lansing Virg […]
