i wish i had something enlightening to say about fort hood. but on another topic, there should be some pointed way to redecouple tea parties from the republican party. any subversive insurgent event at which john boehner is waving around a copy of the constitution is, um, horseshit. the good part about the tea party movement is that there was no organization, no spokespeople, etc. it had a nice anti-statist flava, albeit with little chunks of, you know, racism and stupidity thrown in. now i think they'd better come up with another name/strategy for the movement. you need to come up with something that boehner can't use or simulate. truly, if you had actual libertarians and fiscal conservatives out there, they'd have grabbed john boehner and waterboarded him.
