Tea Bagging and Dilbert.

I am not going to make any "teabagging" jokes....I think the Daily Show has exhausted that line of thought. But let's look at what went on the other day.

First, we had a group of Americans so angry that many of them were unable to spell or use correct grammar on their signs. Yes, those are the folks I want directing my government on what to do.

Second, we had the guys on Fox News, who not so long ago decried any dissent regarding the actions of w as un-American, coming out in favor of dissent. Did they suddenly realize there was more to the Constitution than the second amendment?

Finally, we had Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, trying to show that he's an even bigger moron than the guy who had the job before him by suggesting that Texas might secede. My reaction to that idea: PLEASE GO NOW!!!! Take Tom Delay and Dick Armey and John Cornyn and Ron Paul and anyone named Bush with you and don't come back! We'll figure out how to smuggle out Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson and Ray Benson later. Yes, ya'll think it's the greatest place in the world, but it is in fact a big dry empty place populated mostly by morons. (OK, in fairness, they are morons with great manners who have always treated me very well when I've been there)

Not related to the teabaggers, but more amusing, is that Dilbert is picking on Economists this week, with the kind of weirdly accurate satire we've come to expect. Check out the strips here.

Oh, and will someone please explain to me how the 14th Amendment does not give gay couples the same rights as straight couples in all states, not just enlightened ones like Iowa.
