So it turns out that one of my competitors is organizing the local teabagging

party. We both have leisure lodging in a small resort town - a place that's already down 12-15% from last year and a summer season not shaping up real good either.

My first thought is to post the location and time on gay.com, manhunt and craigslist and give the deluded old codger a really big shock at what he's organizing

But I really have to wonder how he can look at the same info as me, the same drop in business as me (due to disastrous Republican policies) - and still be convinced to fight against everything that may pull us out of this economic mess. The drop off started last Sept (with Oct being a dismal month compared to the historically best of the year with leaf season) which was even before there was going to be a black man in the White House - so I don't think it's an outright racial thing

1. I used to listen a radio show, 'the Dolans". It was a show about money,

investments, etc. They had a saying they would use, "Even a turkey can fly in a strong enough wind". In his mind, he thought he was an eagle.

2. Why don't you host you're own teaparty?

You can sell tickets and you could have a raffle for a free weekend? If you sell a lot of tickets, you can give away more than one free weekend? Offer discounts(big) on lodgings to the guests of the event. You can probably draw a lot of them off this way. The stupid will think they're going to the "protest" and the ones with half a brain will think they're taking advantage of you and that they're getting something free.
