A few weeks ago I was sauntering down Provo Center Street, or as I like to call it “Rue de MLM and Homeless Men”.  As I approached University Ave and Center Street what to my wondering eyes should appear but a tea-party rally, and eight tiny reindeer (k-not that last part, but I had to keep the flow). I watched as they megaphoned and rallied, as they cheered and jeered, and as they bounced signs and talked about the ‘injustices promoted by the Anti-Christ in office’ and all that. And it got me to thinking.

In our day and age with the amount of cynicism and conflict we have within our own government, I think something as over-played as a PAC rally with picket signs and yelling white guys might not be getting the attention it adequately deserves. So…I would like to nominate myself as the new branding manager of the tea party movement. And my first change? It will now be called THE MR. T PARTY.

Can you see it now? Heavily necklaced large black men would barge into grocery stores and restaurants and really get in people’s faces with their conservative message. “YOU EATING THAT DOUBLE BACON CHEESE BURGER FOO? BECAUSE YOU’D BETTER THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR RECKLESS FOOD SPENDING IS DOING TO OUR NATIONAL FAST FOOD DEFICIT!”

I really think people would sit up and listen more. I mean, who would you pay attention to? A middle aged white woman yelling about the evils of universal health care? Or an army of Mr. Ts beating the hell out of death panels and liberal Supreme Court nominees? I know where my support would lie…

So put my name in the hat and lets work to reform the tea-party movement. Because I pity the foo who wants to raise taxes on non-green initiative housing projects.
