They named themselves that and when they found out it already had a definition they changed it to Tea Party. I call a Tea Bagger a Tea Bagger. Does anyone think that they would ever let us forget if we had done that? They refuse to use Democratic Party so eff'em I say. It is funny to watch them blush sometimes. I figure one day I might get punched but it will be worth it. Idiots.

That is my point. Thanks. We could start a Anti-Tea Bagger party or movement for sh*ts and giggles.

of a movement. Individually, when someone is bragging about how horrible they are I will use it because I know it creeps them out. They usually get mad but they certainly cannot say it is not true.

This is me thinking and not posting as I wake up and have my first cup of tea. I would never use it in a large manner like a movement but it sure sounded like I would.

Not back to running yet. Still have a couple of doctor appointments. 48 hrs with antibiotics IVs hooked up. They are pretty sure it was kidney infection due to a stone. Pretty scary until test for CV-19 came back negative.
