Tea and Crumpets, Anyone?

Hi ho! I’m about to head off for a good night’s rest before enjoying a well-deserved Memorial Day weekend, but I just wanted to draw your attention to something pretty exciting. As you may have read on this website and on Teablogging.net (that’s “dot-net,” Olbermann, get it right next time!), tea party organizer Michael Patrick Leahy planned a tea party rally in Murfreesboro, TN today. And how many people were at that rally, you ask? 100,000? 200,000? 1,000,000? More than that? It turns out that the crowd at today’s rally beat everyone’s wildest expectations:

Barely 20 people showed up today for an anti-government protest organized by Rutherford County Republicans. The protest took place on a short stretch of sidewalk in Murfreesboro, TN. Michael Patrick Leahy, a prominent Williamson County Republican and national tea party organizer, was scheduled to speak at the protest but was a no show just as we predicted he would be.

Oh.

    The problem was they didn’t have any live music. A good polka band would probably bring in 10 or 20 more people.

    Leahy couldn’t make it cuz he was doing his taxes.

    Tea doesn’t exactly draw out the crowds either. If they could promise Caramel Frappucino Lites, then count me in. Or some form of liquor.

    Hey, protesting is tiring and its easy to forget unless you get incentives. Otherwise you might as well stay home and practice teabagging with your loved ones.

    Shit, twenty people doesn’t even constitute a pro hockey team. More people than that congregate at the local Tim Horton’s just to watch the neighbourhood dogs fuck behind the dumpster.

    Mr. Dragger,
    Why do your neighborhood’s less attractive wimmin fuck behind Tim Horton’s and when did this become tradition in our great neighbor to the north?
