Isn't there a Dukes of Hazzard Reunion Rally this summer? Social Security checks only go so far.

Lack of interest or a shortage of Long John Silver's Uniforms?

Do these fools really think that dressing up in old costumes gives them any credibility at all, or gives voters the confidence that they know anything about society today? I think they really don't know what a laughing stock they are. I'm reminded of the movie "Choke."

And this is why it's called a "movement": it goes a certain distance and then stops.

One can only drink extremely bitter tea for so long before putting it aside for far better choices.

Tea is OK but it isn't what most Americans drink. You know, the tough hard working folks in all walks of life? Soldiers, teachers, construction workers, office folks,....so I propose to counter the Tea Party with the the Coffee Party. It represents the lower 98%.....Just drinkin' my coffee and reading these blogs!

You do no that there is actually a Coffee Party Organization now too right

Yes, there is but of course they get very little attention, perhaps if they walked around in cutesy costumes like giant coffee bean bags or oversized hats shaped like coffee pots, but no they're too elitist for such displays of conviction.
