Don't challenge them
Bill Maher had, as one of his panelists, the woman that heads the St. Louis TEA Party. During the discussion he asked her to precisely name spending that she thinks should be cut in the Federal Budget. One of her answers?
Funny thing is, I don't get the impression that any of the tea partiers have ever smoked pot, eaten magic brownies, magic mushrooms, or anything else that is or was associated w/ the profligate hippies/lefties. They seem more like a bunch of juicers who've pickled too many brain cells w/ booze, the legal mood altering substance.
A mind really is a terrible thing to waste.

ReplyDeleteAnd this from a real winer, too.
If a mind is permanently closed, I don't think there is anything to be wasted.
