Not one, not two, but… yeah, OK, just two quotes today.
Taking off on David’s idea below, you could call it a “T.E.A.B.A.G.G.E.R twofer”.
First
They will be selling the ‘Obama burger’ — you pay for one and they cut it in half and give the rest to the guy behind you for free !

Sound about right to me. But only if the guy behind me whines that he doesn’t like pickles on his burger.
Secondly
Several sites are attempting to ensure that the enthusiasm of yesterdays tea parties isn’t a flash in the pan, including AfterTheTeaParty.com and TaxDayTeaParty.com.
If 100-1,000 people show up at a rally, the event may or may not get media coverage, and that coverage may or may not be snarky or dismissive. Congressmen may or may not notice, and the President’s spokesman will announce he’s not aware of them.
But if 100-1,000 people show up at a town council, city council, etc. meeting, in most places, that’s an earthquake. It varies widely, but most local government budget meetings are sleepy affairs, and many local lawmakers are used to settling their spending with minimal scrutiny. They’ve never seen anything like several hundred people showing up with the same message of “don’t waste my money.”
I’m sure that they’d probably cancel the meeting, though I doubt they’d admit to doing so because they needed to go home and change their underwear.
And since I like this video, here is a third item
Pelosi’s contempt for those she represents really comes through. She finds it inconceivable that the proles she “rules” are capable of independent thought and action. Elitism incarnate.
