Hands Across America

Unfortunately, all of the hands are giving the finger.

According to this article from CNN, the Tea Party protesters are going on tour! Apparently, the name "Tea Party" not only refers to a protest against taxes, but also against health care reform and so-called "big government." I fully believe that when the original Tea Party happened in Boston back in 1773, the demonstrators involved wanted their movement's name to be used to protest things that are completely unrelated to the original purpose.

(Note: I didn't know this before, but this article taught me that the TEA in TEA Party stands for Taxed Enough Already. I'm sure they'll clue us in on how taxes have anything to do with the health care crisis.)

Anyway, the TEA Party protesters are taking a two week bus tour from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., culminating in a march to announce their views and protest the President's agenda.

Even putting aside the public option as an issue, people still find problems with reforming a system that is inherently broken and flawed. I love those Libertarians!
