I Smell Bullshit

I plan on making this a regular feature. There is nothing more maddingly frustrating then seeing or reading some talking head,  politician, or other public figure say or write something completely insane. Unfortunately, the media rarely calls bullshit because it is a broken institution. Sarah Palin's vice presidency, for instance, is a perfect moment. There is no question in my mind that she is insane (and I am not a dem or repub, just a concerned citizen). The media should have immediately called Bullshit! on her, but they didn't. Some things are just so clear.

Here is my first victim of Bullshit!: To the entire so-called "Tea Party," I call Bullshit! The media shouldn't even give you the time of day. Most likely, your entire group and people who sympathize with your goals and means to achieving them, probably represents a tiny sliver of the US. Here is the deal, you are stupid people whose lack of understanding of history, politics, and reality are only rivaled by your average waistsize. The original Tea Party was composed of a bunch of colonists rejecting a government that did not give them representation. You have representation...they are called your representatives. If you have a problem talk to them. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans support the things you are actually against, and that is why your representatives are not likely to listen to closely to you. But, I would like to thank you anyway for making our civil sphere more volatile, less rational, and even more self-serving.
