Red State Diaries. Or, Don't Mess With Sore Losers...

1. Let me get this right, you're angry over the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which uses tax payer dollars to fund PUBLIC projects with the hope of boosting the economy and creating jobs. I'm confused because if memory serves, you were not angry when your homeboy, George (and company) bailed out private banks (TARP) with tax payer money and, oh yeah, they didn't track the money at all...

2. You're also really upset about the budget, aren't you? Do you mean the budget that includes spending on Iraq? Remember how George didn't ever include defense spending for Iraq in the budget?? Remember that? So, you'd be okay with this year's budget if it was just a little less, um, what's the word, transparent? honest?

3. You're throwing a tea party?? Like a "no-taxation-without-representation" tea party?? Really? Did you miss the part about how in November, we democratically elected our government officials? In fact, if I'm not mistaken, people in Texas voted in record numbers. Weird. Seems like we're taxed with representation this time, kids. I must be missing something...

4. Please go away so we can stop hearing news anchors make awkward sexual puns. I for one have had enough of hearing Anderson Cooper talk about teabagging/those people being "nuts"/protesters being "all up in our face." I THINK WE GOT IT THANKS.
