Victoria Jackson Says ‘Thanks’

A tip of the fedora to our readers from our Tea Party Patriot friend in Hollywood: Victoria is with the Pasadena Patriots. Fedora courtesy of Da Tech Guy. UPDATE: Here’s video of her song “There’s a Communist Living in the White House” with more than a quarter-million views so far:

You Might Be a Media Douchebag If . . .

. . . people are attacked for exercising their First Amendment rights and you don’t think that’s a news story: Over 10,000 Boston Patriots turned out for the event and to hear Sarah Palin speak.
