      Is anyone aware of any upcoming tea parties scheduled for the People's Republic of New York City?

        You have representation, or do you not know how the republic of America works?

      How about MSNBC running a "Tax Day Tea Anti-Party"?

        A sensible plan, perhaps, but let's just let Fox have their fun as a hijacking sponsor of the tea parties.  Fox's promotion of the events don't just kill the idea that this is a "grassroots" promotion; it makes it a corporate event.

        My money is on the idea that Fox will be trying to plug their own wares at the events.

      Early prediction:  Faux and am hate radio will be claiming 10s of millions participated in the Tea Bag parties, while real estimates will be in the range of around 100K nationwide.
