Everybody Was Tea-Fu Fighting

by Smitty The total sum of Tea Party attendance today will afford the Left much denial fodder between now and November. Here is just a quick roundup of other Tea Party posts from fellow modern pamphleteers. Carol’s Closet covers Tampa. Pat in Shreveport tells us how it goes, which turns out well.

Washington Monument Tax Day Tea Party Protest

by Smitty This is a blast. I heard the figure 25k thrown out for attendance. I’m sure that the libel media will take a cube root or so and report that. The day was made meeting Lord Monckton here in the tent, enjoying a colonial Subway sandwich. I cut an interview, but there was a […]

Smittypalooza III Was Jolly Good Fun

by Smitty The guests, the venue, and the food were splendid. Chris Cassone and I bonded instantly. At the next table, I overheard him sing “I wanna be a lifeguard. . .” and I yelled “Blotto!” and he was shocked “You’ve heard of Blotto?” The little Dell Inspiron Mini is mostly a good gadget. The […]
