SEARCH'N FOR SNO BALLS N NAWLINS
I drive alongside the grassy slope of the Mississippi River levee and turn east at Magazine Street, traveling past Audubon Zoo toward downtown. It's a narrow, bumpy street shaded by giant oaks, their roots upending great chunks of sidewalk. But nobody seems to mind. This is New Orleans.

TEA-BAGGERS GONE WILD!
Federal lawmakers are returning home this week to begin their month-long recess and the far right is welcoming them with large, angry "town halls gone wild." Last week, a leaked Tea Party Patriots memo detailed how town hall goers should infiltrate meetings and harass members of Congress. The memo said activists should "stand up and shout out and sit right back down" so the representative is "made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington."

NOTE: In response to this post some of my friends have asked how that is any different from ACORN's organizing efforts. My response is that ACORN organizing around an issue is okay, just as it's okay if the TPP organizes. It's the subterfuge that's wrong. Why isn't that obvious to anyone? Since when have you seen an ACORN event where the folks are clandestinely participating and where they are doing the direct bidding of the Democratic Party but acting like it's the spontaneous "will of the people"?
