Should the "Legalize Pot" folks have a rally the same time/place as the "Tea Party" morans?
They're publicizing a "Tea Party" protest on April 15 here, and in cities nationwide to bitch about something or other... I think they're mad that Obama's using actual accounting, and not hiding inconvenient shit in "emergency supplementals."

Maybe the legalize pot folks should turn it into a different kind of "Tea Party" by turning up in droves, and lighting up, too...

They could co-opt the organizational efforts of the uptight right wingers, gain attention for their cause, while marginalizing the events even further.

5. Not implying that pot smokers are like freepers
I'm saying it would be fun for the pot smokers to infiltrate the freeper event and turn it into a different kind of "tea party" -- it would piss off the freeps, give the legalizers visibility and a little controversy, and maybe a contact high would help the freeps relax a bit.

Lighten up, Francis.

It's their job. Let Obama do what he can get done.

12. Guess I'm dating myself, but ages ago, "tea" was a euphemism for pot
For reference, check the drug lecture in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" ...at least that's one thing the squares used to call it.

13. Good Luck Getting The "Legalize Pot" Folks To Show Up on Time
They're not the most prompt and reliable people.
