Tea tea

“Schuze, um, ‘scuse me, ma’am. Could you point me to the Pea Tardy, um Tea Pardy, hic!”

I hear these people screaming: “We want to take back our country.” From what? To what? Jesus, some of these people are more sanctimonious than the most shrill liberals. Some make Michael Moore look like William F. Buckley.

It is understandable that the media would cover these gatherings both nationally and locally considering that Tax Day is only a shell of itself now that so many people — like yours truly — file by computer. I think I had my refund around the last week in January. There is no more B-roll to get at the post office. Yes, journalists are by nature lazy. Guilty. I was voted laziest in my school. (So were  two of my brothers). But I didn’t choose journalism as a profession, when I worked full-time as a journalist, to lift that barge, tote that bale. Or verse visa.

But there may be some history in the making despite how lazy the media may be. We might be witnessing the Whiginization of the Republican Party. Although certain ones among the Republicans or Tea Party might be loath to say it, political parties go through their own Darwinism. Some say hello, some say goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
