Green Eagle

I can't resist posting this picture of a Republican press conference this morning, which comes from AP, and I have already seen on a couple of other websites: I guess people just don't really care that much about their belligerent posturing over the health care bill. Who could have ever thought that Americans would actually not rise up in fury, demanding vengeance because the Democrats gave them health insurance protection?

The Big Story, from our friends at Renew America: "Tea Party planning national strike Jan. 20 — As President Barack Obama's first year in office draws to a close, Tea Party groups are planning to mark the occasion with a national strike - something local leaders say could demonstrate the conservative groups' burgeoning strength." Yes sir, that's going to show their strength alright. I can't wait. This is going to be so much fun. Listen, codgers, you can't go on strike when you are already retired. Maybe you never noticed that. Of course, if we let them do the counting, it will turn out that the entire American labor force stayed home that day.
