time for Mr. B. to savor the full rich robust flavor of the teabag
(to quote my MMORPG gamer friends)

What? of course we can't! It's just like the "N" word it's not our word!

What up my baggah!

The blog comments are hilarious. Andrew has a devoted following of snarkers who enjoy jerking his chain, er, bag.

In honor of this, a PSA for teabaggers:

tee hee.

Notice to all teabaggers:

When you hear the word teabag, please refrain from picturing Rush Limbaugh sticking his sweaty testicles into Glen Beck's eager mouth - or Michelle Malkin's.

BTW LVQ thanks for the updings.

You can call them that. It's just gross.

Hijacking the "Tea Party" theme as a rallying cry is lame. The original tea party was a protest against taxation without representation. The only reason these people don't have "representation" is that they have been too lazy or complacent or uninterested to do something to actually get their candidates elected into office. They yap about an impending revolution when all they ever needed to do is use the electoral process the founding fathers put in place. When they use the Tea Party theme they insult the spirit behind the original.

and they like to fantasize that the founding fathers would have been in favor of their anti-tax poseur rebellion against the federal government. I'd like to instruct the tea party folks to look up the Whiskey Rebellion and Shay's rebellion and see how those turned out.

Dude you only look more like an idiot every time you suggest across the board cuts.

Across the board cuts are only going to make our government worse as we people struggle to find ways to funnel more money to their pet projects and leave less to do the real work.

We should do investigation, find out what our money is being spent on that actually achieves stuff for us and what is being wasted.

The Tea Party relies heavily in platitudes like "small government", "tax cuts" and "fiscal responsibility" because their leaders realize that, as soon as somebody make concrete budget proposals, the movement falls apart. You can't cut defense (heresy!), since most tea partiers are Conservatives and favor the current wars. You can't cut Medicare, because half the tea partiers either rely on it now or will very soon. Same for Social Security. And these are the big chunks of the Federal budgets.

Defending tax cuts is insanity at this point, and of course incompatible with "fiscal responsibility".

re: #121 Floral Giraffe

Field trip for black students in Mich. draws anger

DETROIT — A school district in Michigan is defending its intentions after a field trip by African-American elementary students drew complaints from excluded children and their parents.

Officials said Wednesday that 30 students from Dicken Elementary School in Ann Arbor met last week with an African-American rocket scientist at the University of Michigan. It was part of a larger effort to help close persistent test-score gaps between black and white students.

District spokeswoman Liz Margolis says the students were booed by others when they returned, and Principal Mike Madison admonished those children for their response. Madison told parents in a letter that the activity could have been approached better but the goal was positive.

Officials will also discuss the matter at a parent-teacher meeting Thursday.

Martin Gross has gone over the books and suggested we could cut 25% from the gov't funding And Never Miss It for nearly 20 years.
Agreed, medicare and SSoc are "golden cows" for now - SSoc will see drastic cuts a/o 'means testing' well before I'm "eligible"
Yes, keeping us safe at home is one of the 'Constitutional' duties of the Fed, but funding the additional purchase of planes / vehicles / armament that the Pentagon has specifically said they don't want, just because the plants that make 'em are in your district, in MY mind could be cut.

I'll give you pet projects.

Now explain to me how we can measure when our government is "too huge"

When it consumes more than x% of GDP? (We can debate 'x')
When it commits us to generational servitude?
When it invades every aspect of our lives?
When it tells us how much $$ we make is "enough"
I mean, really, just WHERE the Eff do these guys step OFF?

re: #110 Varek Raith

What's the government's ideal size?

as close to zero as is reasonably possible

re: #137 freetoken

The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming apparently is having a hearing tomorrow.

The Dems are calling three witnesses, scientists.

The GOP is calling one "expert" witness... The Lord High Denier himself!

The government is "too huge" when it is providing services that are not needed.

No more no less.

There are areas where I wish it was smaller (YOU IDIOTS NEED TO STOP TALKING ABOUT ABORTION!)

But there are also areas where I wish it was bigger, as in everyone should have the option of buying into government run insurance.

What services is the government providing at the moment that you feel aren't needed?

Sorry, but do you seriously think there is not 10% pure WASTE involved here?
Martin Gross has gone over the books and suggested we could cut 25% from the gov't funding And Never Miss It for nearly 20 years.
Agreed, medicare and SSoc are "golden cows" for now - SSoc will see drastic cuts a/o 'means testing' well before I'm "eligible"
Yes, keeping us safe at home is one of the 'Constitutional' duties of the Fed, but funding the additional purchase of planes / vehicles / armament that the Pentagon has specifically said they don't want, just because the plants that make 'em are in your district, in MY mind could be cut.
Just sayin'..

Shrug. We can the discuss the merits of your proposals one by one. However, I don't think you realize that many, if not most of the tea partiers disagree with your definition of waste.

According to Markey's office
, one of the purposes of the hearing is explicitly:

Even after months of personal attacks against climate scientists stemming from a manufactured scandal over stolen emails, the underlying science behind the need to stem the tide of heat-trapping emissions remains solid. To explain what we know about climate change, and why and how we know it, Chairman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will host top-level American climate scientists at a congressional hearing this Thursday, May 6, 2010.

The scientists will address the claims of deniers head-on. Thursday’s panel features a member of the investigative panel convened by the University of East Anglia and led by Lord Ron Oxburgh to review the stolen emails from that school’s Climactic Research Unit. The “Oxburgh Inquiry” exonerated the scientists who were attacked following the emails, saying they “saw no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work.”

The GOP, to answer the claims of scientists, are calling a showman, a histrionic salesman of dung.

The GOP has entirely surrendered any influence in that realm of human endeavor in which America is deeply invested, science.

WTF does that even mean? Close to zero military defense? Close to zero law enforcement? Close to zero safe food and drug regulations? Close to zero educational standards?

Should we dismantle the FCC and allow the possibility of hard-core, XXX pornography being aired on daytime television (I might actually like that), and allow planes to crash due to "close to zero" communication interference standards?

I don't get it. It sounds like a one-off bumper-sticker slogan with little to no meaning nor merit.

The stimulus package will fade out almost completely within the next year, and cutting it would be disastrous for states' budgets. HCR is projected to save money (but I guess you can't really trust those CBO projections, right?).

All your other stuff is peanuts in the federal budget. But the main point is that you started with the word "personally". I also have a lot of things I would cut "personally". To repeat the question:

I remember last year when a professor had us do an assignment regarding the Tea Parties, and he was up in front of class summarizing their political agenda. All of a sudden he drops the line "Tea Baggers" which resulted in some snickering from us students. He kept doing it, and I just thought it was a mistake -- nothing pejorative or intentional. Even on one of his handouts he had written "tea baggers."

I do not understand how anyone taking them seriously can call them "tea baggers."
