TEA Party Day

"This is not about politics. This is about America. This is a great day." Laura Ingram speaking from one of the DC tea parties.

It's sad that so many wingnuts are trying to pretend the tea parties are something different. Sad that they would want to dismiss so many -- shrug them off -- invalidate their feelings.

Here's an idea of some of the crowds (click the picks for a closer look at each).
