Most all of us are familiar with the Sherlock Holmes story where the biggest clue was what the dog didn't do. Well...did you know that there was another great teabagger rally in Washington today? Yes, wingnuts have been promoting it for some time now- the last great chance before the health care vote to demonstrate the wrath of the American people. Here's a sample of the online promotion for this event: Now what would this have to do with Sherlock Holmes' non-barking dog? Here's a report from the great event, from Fox News: "Tea Party activists from across the country rallied outside Democratic congressional offices in Washington on Tuesday to protest the $875 billion health care bill and demand meetings with their respective members of Congress."

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.
