Subby blew it: the proper headline should have started "A Long Day's Journey into Nuts."

On my way in, I crossed paths with personnel from the Capitol physician's office -- an entity that, as The Washington Post's Dana Milbank would put it "could, quite accurately, be labeled government-run health care." Some protesters, apparently, had been trampled or sickened and required treatment. One person had had a heart attack. The government was needed.

Oh fate. So cruelly ironic. Why didn't these protesters pull themselves up by their bootstraps and go find a private doctor?

They aren't scary, they're pathetic. Poseurs in large groups are still poseurs.

I hope you didn't actually expect them to hold true to their beliefs of anti-government health care when their lives were on the line.

Unpatriotic goofballs

I wonder if they used the Metro or just walked to the Mall like real bootstrappers.

Each paved their own way. One suggested that they all work together to build a road they could all use, but was beaten to death by a large group of rugged individuals.

The Euro-Socialist vs. the American Patriots. Go Tea Partyers!

"Mark Levin is my mentor," said Sarah, the Asian-American Jew. "I listen to him for three hours every day, 6 to 9 a.m."

There was no apparent recollection that we had just discussed Obama's own supposed indoctrination. A sermon-like back-and-forth ensued between audience and speaker.

One woman asked whether I'd rather have a single apple pie to divide between a bunch of people, or apples, sugar, cinnamon and crust to make my own apple pie.

So, does that mean she's in favor of worker control of the means of production?

Please don't let this turn into a recipe thread.

Office of the Attending Physisician of the US Congress (new window)

its part of the Military Industrial Complex...its funded through the Navy

They charge a fee of 503$ to the politicians...only 240 paid in 2008.

Specialists are brought in at no additional cost.

I wonder what the political affiliation of those who didn't pay is......

I think it depends on whether or not the Metro allows Medicare scooters on board.

I turned to a woman next to me. "So Obama has been indoctrinated?" I asked. "Oh yeah," she replied. "He sat in that church every Sunday. It's called Black Liberation Theology. Look it up."

At that juncture, conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin took the stage and on cue, the crowd produced copies of his book -- "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" -- and pointed them up to the bright mid-day sun.

"Mark Levin is my mentor," said Sarah, the Asian-American Jew. "I listen to him for three hours every day, 6 to 9 a.m."

Was waiting in line to get H1N1 vaccines for my kids last Wednesday (even after a neighbor kindly warned that it'd turn them into communists), when some guy started yelling about how "this is what Obamacare will be like." I said "so you are here trying to get the Government to give you a free shot," to which he replied. . .well,. . .nothing.

I laughed so hard when he called himself a "Professional" that I spilled my coffee.

The D-Baggers are nothing, but looters and moochers. They are scared of any grassroots movement of the producers.

Gee, I wonder if they'll focus on the oddest ones and ignore any possible 'normal' portrayal?

But it's Saturday so you'll all have to wait for Monday for Jon Stewart to tell you what to think.

I know they're one of the current right-wing bogeymen and all. But I don't think SEIU members build roads, road workers would probably belong to one of the AFL-CIO associated unions.

Do you know of interviews with 'normal' tea party protesters? If so please share, I'm curious.

And you will have to wait until Monday for Glenn Beck to tell you waht to think.
