    Meh, I don't usually do anything on Wednsdays, I'll go to the one in downtown Modesto and check it out. My bet is there'll be about 50 people, and none of them will be hot chicks.

    I would go, but that would interfere with my laz-y-boy time. :?:

    Seriously, I don't do crowds anymore.

    Let's see, go somewhere and be branded a troublemaker the same as having a Ron Paul bumper sticker on my car or considered as a member of a militia.

    I'd rather keep flying under the radar.

    I can see that you're a person of strong convictions and not a person who bounces around the room like the OCD kid whenever he sees something that's shiny...

    I'm trying to figure out something with 'teabag', but that's good too.

    It's not just about taxes, it's also and mostly about insane amounts of spending.

    I kinda want to go to one of these, but I'm too lazy and undisciplined and won't get around to it. That said, if these organizers are smart, they'll show "Firefly" and get all the Brownshirts to come too.

    By a Democrat who wants to spend it with oversight...
    These people didn't bat an eye the last 8 years when Bush and Co. spend trillions without oversight...
    Hypocrites...

    There's one scheduled here on Wednesday in front of the Alamo. Glen Beck is supposed to be there.

    I got a Facebook invite from the Texas Tea Party people, but I'll be working.

    I wonder at what point during the whole thing he's planning to cry. Maybe he's planning multiple cries.

    I'll go to the one near me for sure.

    I just don't understand what this is all about... Except for republicans loosing influence in congress and the white house. Most Americans already are enjoying a modest tax cut. No one has seen their taxes increase.

    But if someone's going to lick my balls, I'm there!
