Can I Contend With Professor Reynolds for the ‘I Told You So’ Rodeo Buckle?

That tall-walking Tennessee buckaroo rides hard: “On April 15, 2009, as the first nationwide wave of Tea Party protests broke out, I wrote: ‘What’s most striking about the tea-party movement is that most of the organizers haven’t ever organized, or even participated, in a protest rally before.

Important Points About The ‘One Nation’ Rally Overlooked By Many

by Smitty The rally was a modern art statement in litter. Conservatives hate art, which is why they don’t understand the important expression on display. The rally was economic stimulus in litter.

A Short List . . .

. . . of Astoundingly Stupid Things No Conservative Blogger in His Right Mind Would Ever Even Think About Doing: Publish posts conflating “neocons” and “Jews” in such a way as to provoke accusations of anti-Semitism.
