join the coffee party
A new poll of Tea Party (TP) backers, as reported by this NY Times article, says that TP-ers’s “…animosity towards Washington and the President…is rooted in…the conviction that the policies of the Obama administration are disproportionately directed at helping the poor rather than the middle class or the rich.”
Personally I think it’s about time we started providing more help to the poor in this country. There are more now than ever, and most of the homeless folks I run into deserve as much help as they can get. The rich can help themselves, as they always have.
So I’m proposing the formation of a new party, which gives priority to helping the poor. I propose we call it the Coffee Party. We can proclaim our support by buying homeless people a cup of coffee.

The Tea Party is a joke, kept alive only by the attention of the all-devouring hunger of the media for eyeball-grabbing “content”.
