  1. Didn't see much in the way of teabagger demonstrations in the Village this election season. I've noticed that the teabagger contingent here pretty much mirrors the national bunch of low information voters. They seem to be almost universally white, retired, ignorant and adamant.

    They all are on Social Security, enjoy Medicare and most have pensions from the days when it was easy to hold a job with a company that offerred benefits. Of course, those days are gone and if these people went back to see what happened to the job they retired from, they would find that their jobs no longer exist. Still, they defend the benefits they receive saying, "We worked for them." unmindful of the fact that today's working generation does not have the opportunity to "work for them."

    Teabaggers are great at carrying signs at rallies. I have a suggestion for a sign to best illustrate what they stand for. It would read, "I've got mine, to hell with you."
