What's been impressive is the long period of time during which the media pretended the Tea Party was bi- or tri- or non-partisan or whatever.
They're just the same old Republicans who always get a little overstimulated when a Democrat is in the White House, and the fact that the Democrat is of a darker hue then usual burst even more than the normal number of blood vessels. Also, too, Postum was discontinued, so there's a lot of sad.
