Tea Grown Without Roots

Q. Do you prefer grass or astroturf?
A. I don't know, I've never smoked astroturf.

Ah, the old ones are the best.

What with the hefty charge just to get in, and the fee payable to Sarah Palin, those attending the National Tea Party Convention are smoking plenty of astroturf: corporately faked grass roots.

  2. All about how she ran Alaska on the basis of the government administration of natural resources owned in common?

    Then Romney can extoll the wonders of socialised medicine. And Huckabee can talk about nothing except abortion and the definition of marriage, because on economic matters he was one of the most left-wing governors in American history.

    There's the 2012 Republican Convention for you.

  4. Is she reminding them that opposition to "free" trade, foreign wars and mass immigration is indivisible?
