Jeez. If Fats Domino was dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.

I bet it sounded better in the shower, though.

GPS Mistake Leads To Man's Arrest

KETV wrote:Deputies said around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a couple used their GPS to try and find the Draft House bar at 180th and Pacific streets. But deputies said the GPS took them to a home near 179th and Harney streets. Instead of leaving, the couple knocked on the door of the home. The man inside the house called police.

When the deputy responded, the man who showed up on the front porch became belligerent and fought with the deputy. The homeowner called 911 to ask for help for the officer. When deputies arrived, they employed a Taser on the man twice, and took him into custody.

MillerCoors becomes casualty of Minnesota shutdown

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43740519/ns ... -shutdown/

www.msnbc.com wrote:MINNEAPOLIS — Miller, Coors and other popular beers may disappear from Minnesota stores and bars within days because brewing giant MillerCoors lacks the proper licenses due to the state's government shutdown.

MillerCoors has 39 "brand label registrations" with the state that expired last month, and the employees who process renewals were laid off when state government shut down July 1 in a budget dispute, Doug Neville, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said Wednesday.

State alcohol enforcement officials who remain on the job recently told officials with Chicago-based MillerCoors LLC that they need to come up with a plan soon for pulling their products he said.

No public services available for Tea Party rally in public park.

From the OWH's Public Pulse No Irony At All Department:

Open restroom for public events

We need to let the public know that Walnut Grove Park near 153rd and Q Streets does not have open public restrooms. There was a padlock on the restrooms on July 3 during a Tea Party rally.

We told the Omaha Parks and Recreation Department that we needed Walnut Grove Park’s public restrooms opened but were told the restrooms are not open at the park.

I believe public restrooms in Omaha parks should be open for public events and especially on weekends.

Rhonda Dugger, Omaha

Editor’s note: The Omaha Parks and Recreation Department said staff are not available to maintain city park restrooms. Groups can rent port-a-potties for an event.

I would think that the Tea Party would want such things as sanitary facilities to be provided by the private sector.

Apparently default is not unknown to the Tea Party:

On Monday Venetian Casino Resort, LLC., filed suit against Tea Party Nation Corporation of Franklin, Tenn., alleging the group owes $642,144 for canceling a conservative conclave last year.

The event, which had been scheduled for July 14-18, 2010, was first postponed until October and ultimately canceled... According to a contract attached to the complaint, the reservation included an agreement by Tea Party Nation to pay the resort $579,148 in the event of a cancellation, of which the resort alleges the group still owes $554,148. An 18 percent interest charge added $87,996 to the amount the resort wants to collect.

I've never heard of "Tea Party Nation."

For what it's worth, the "TEA party" (capitalized because T.E.A. stands for Taxed Enough Already), is not an organized national party. It's a grassroots collection of people who think Washington politicians are spending our futures into obscurity.

Because it's not a national party, to associate some group in Tennessee with local people who had the bathrooms locked for their properly-permitted event is disingenuous.

I think your extreme left-leaning views have you a bit confused.

(Link is an evolution of the word. including pictures of signs of teabaggers talking about teabagging.)

Best part:

Prominent conservative Andrew Breitbart posts a video on the site Big Government in an attempt to reclaim the term. "I'm Proud to be a Tea Bagger" currently has over 90,000 views.

and of course, "proud to be a teabagger" buttons
