"Curiouser and Curiouser", said Alice ......

Blagh!!!!!

The most dreaded sight. A blank screen, a virgin piece of paper.

It’s not that I can’t find things to talk about; I just don’t know where to start. Now it's pretty obvious that there is no point in testing the water with a toe. Everybody knows it’s not going to get any warmer between now and the plunge ………

OK conscience, here goes.

I know of three famous tea parties. Chronologically, first there was the taxation protest in Boston Harbor in 1773. Next came Lewis Carroll’s version in “Alice in Wonderland”. Then last week, hundreds upon hundreds of parties across this great nation.

The Left and their paparazzi still don’t get it. These parties were not organized or even dreamed up by the Republican National Committee. If that were the case, they’d have screwed it up. Perhaps the spark was provided by Rick Santelli of CNBC about a month ago but after that it became a grass-roots campaign. I know because I was part of it here in Arizona. Hell, I was trying to scrounge up donated sound systems. And I did. But it wasn't enough because even I, the optimist, underestimated our massive turnout.

But, in a reaffirmation of Chicago thug politics or perhaps because Obama has learned from his Clinton-era dominated White House, critics or threats of criticism cannot be allowed to pass. The very idea must be mocked, scorned, belittled and/or marginalized. And if that doesn’t work, send out the attack dogs.

Which is why Janeane Garofalo dismissed all attendees as "racists". ( I don't care if he's a Jewish, Sheffield Wednesday supporter from Scottsdale, AZ; I don't trust him and I don't like his politics). The Huffington Post proclaimed that all the events were funded by “Corporate-backed Lobby groups.” Then, on one of the talking-head shows yesterday, Axelrod pronounced dissent to be “unhealthy”.

And this was from the same people who, until November 4 2008, proclaimed protest to be the essence of democracy. But after November 4, it’s unhealthy?

Have they forgotten or do they choose to forget that when President George W. was elected 51 to 48, it was a narrow victory but when Obama prevails with a margin of 52 to 47, it’s a landslide? And, while we’re on that subject, the popular vote cast against the eventual winner was the second largest in electoral history.

Now all this tells me that the Left is worried and so is Obama. If that were not so, why not ignore the flea bites? What could they possibly do to hurt? But what if the fleas turned out to be Tsetse flies?

And the Cheshire Cat’s grin just grew and grew!
