Tea Party Mini Wrap-up
Here are some pictures from all over of the more than 40 Tea Party activities held today:Chicago
St. Louis, where they had 1,500 people - wow!
Michelle Malkin has a photo gallery, Instapundit has a lot of photos and stories as well, and of course there's lots of coverage at TCOT.
Keep it up, people!
Houston Tea Party: Pictures
UPDATE at 11pm: Heard from the organizers - they had 350 people sign in at today's event, and estimate the total number at 500! Aren't we all glad I don't do math for a living ...
*******************************************
The boys and I spent some time at the Houston Tea Party at lunch today. I've never tried to estimate such things, but I would guess there were a solid 200 people there. Here are some pictures:
Some good signs:

One of the organizers on stage:
The Pledge and National Anthem:
And some media coverage - from KPRC, Channel 2:
I hope everyone else's event went this well.
Tea Party Today!
Six reasons why the boys and I are heading out to the Houston Tea Party today:
1. President Obama's budget proposes $989 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years.
2. The already-passed stimulus bill repealed welfare reform.
3. The proposed budget increases the deficit by over $11,000 for each American.
4. The aforementioned budget reduces the tax deductability of charitable deductions.
5. Despite the fact everyone thought it was just Chris Dodd being stupid, the White House and Congress really would like to nationalize banks. Just ask Citi today - it's now 36%-owned by Uncle Sam.
6. The mortgage bailout rewards financially irresponsible people at the expense of responsible ones.
The Democrats are spending our money with no control whatsoever. I would like a country left for my sons to live in 30 years hence, if that's not too much trouble.
See you at the party, folks.

Snark from the New Green Belt
We went out to dinner tonight after the boys successfully became light green belts at taekwondo, and the conversation followed a predicable path:
One: "You're so funny Dad!"
Dad: "Funny haha or funny strange?"
One: "Funny haha"
and then not so predicable ...
One: "Don't worry mom. Once in a while you're "funny haha.""
Thanks child. I love you too.
