Driving down Eldorado Parkway in McKinney last night I happened upon a slew of sign-holding, flag-waving folks staging themselves a protest thinly disguised as a “tea party.” Embarrassingly lame.
“Bailouts Steal Our Children!” read one sign. “You Can’t Multiply Wealth By Dividing It!” screamed another. And my personal fave: “Obama is the Real Pirate!”

*When Bill Clinton left office in 2001 America enjoyed a budget surplus of +$127 billion.
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

I’m no Stephen Hawking, but that’s bad, right?
Where were these God-‘n-Country maniacs when Dubya was not finding weapons of mass destruction, not smoking Osama bin Laden out of his cave and instead ruining a company from a $127 billion winner into $455 billion loser?
Instead, this is how it goes down: The guy responsible for the shit gets a standing ovation in these parts, while the guy responsible for cleaning up the shit gets a protest.
Nope, no tea for me. I’m good.
