1. Yeah, but they're not tea baggers so they don't count...
50 teabaggers = big crowd of citizens trying to take back the government from special interests
20,000 unionist = group of thugs trying to extort special privileges from the government

2. No kidding.
350 Protesters against Gov. Scott's proposed budget.
30 Tea Party supporting Gov. Scott
Florida Today article? Accompanied by one photo of a single man holding up a pro-Scott sign and Tea Party position given more space than the original purpose of the rally. No photos of the crowd.

7. And wrestling in cole slaw
Seriously, I am so sick of hearing about Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen. I do not care about them, I care about legitimate news. This is f'ing ridiculous.

6. I saw six busses at the Speedway Kroger this morning.
They were picking up box lunches for the demonstrators.

Wish I could be there with them!

11. Thanks for posting. SUrprised the senate isn't meeting today voting
for a nefarious bill! Second week in a row they cut the week short. NO ONE will tell me tptb in IN decided to stay home to avoid the protesters....did the same on Wednesday last week AFTER voting for a bill limiting teachers! Remember Daniels unitarily got rid of collective bargaining the first day of holding office in 2005.
