Yes, I'm making fun of the Tea party.
It's kind of hard not to when you have Tea Partiers like Joe Miller (Sarah's Boy) up in Alaska running around calling for an end to just about every social safety net this country has -- including Social Security and Medicare.

So what, I wondered, would their reaction be to the nationwide Egg Recall going on at the moment. In this day and age it seems like it's written in stone that people expect their government to a least TRY and keep them safe from poisons in our air, water and food; but when you listen to the Tea Party People rant against every part of the Federal Government, you have to kind of take a moment to try and grasp the realization that these guys really don't want agencies like the FDA to lift a finger to protect them, their families, or anyone else who might be harmed by poisoned food or water.
It's been more than 100 years now since Teddy Roosevelt (a Republican) began the Progressive Movement and made the bold pronouncement that the Federal Government should take an active role in trying to keep its citizens safe from a horribly tainted food supply. But today, the Right treats the term Progressive as though it were the worst sort of moniker you could throw upon someone. And the Tea Party seems to think that everything under the sun can be solved by a Free Market and Social Darwinism -- with every man for himself.
So yes, I'm making fun of them, although I think precious few of them will ever get the joke.
