No one will survive the Tea Party.  Not even Tea Partiers.

I keep waiting for the rise of a Righteous Tide Against Stupid, but it seems Americans are just too dull and distracted to even muster that anymore.

OMG, I just checked: It is a full moon. That explains it.

No wonder the patients were all upset today.

I come home and 2 members are making weird statement about bashing
Firemen, NYC and being Pro-palin and bashing the LGBT community and
claimign that the LGBT community defaces public property. My GOD. A
full Moon? Will we survive the tea party assault on our group?
