Yesterday's Kansas City tea party protest drew at least a couple thousand people. It was pretty impressive to see.
And capitalism was in full effect. Looks like TKC was right. The teabaggers had a problem forking their money over to the government. But they didn't see any problem buying merchandise from a "grassroots political movement."
Protesters saw no cognitive dissonance in using a war memorial as the backdrop of their protest considering that the first federal income tax was started as a way to fund the Civil War, which apparently was a bad thing.

@ Scotty -- I wish I had made up the ZZ Top cover band.

Look, I'm no fan of what has to happen economically, but SOMETHING has to happen. I don't pretend to have majored in econ or finance, but correct me if I'm wrong: the lesson here is if you spend more than you take in, eventually things end crappily. Agreed? Good.
At its core this crisis is about individuals AND government doing just that (though I'm sure someone will try to school me on the intricacies of the debt derivatives market). At some point, we have to pay the piper. Where were all these assclowns when a modest surplus ballooned into the horseshit deficit we have faced for the past 9 years? (Answer: in their vacation homes they financed with a no-money-down ARM.)
I WAS CALLING THIS YEARS AGO. FRIENDS IN 2002 ROLLED THEIR EYES WHEN THIS CAME UP BECAUSE THEY KNEW I'D RANT.
Just take solace in the fact that it could be worse.
That we can get a park full of impotent, confused rage for this farce of an event, which accomplishes nothing for anything except Republican fundraising, is especially bullshit considering how any time someone tries to organize anything about the murder rate or the floundering school system they're lucky if a dozen people show. God forbid anyone come out of their house to deal with that shit.
I found a twenty on the ground at this thing. I spent it on beer.
