The Christian Science monitor claims that there are only 67,000 Tea Party Members nationwide.
While Newsweek claims some lady threw a coffee party, on a whim and 200,000 people showed.
Let's think about this for a minute and look at some facts. Let's just go with how many people like each movement on Facebook. (keep in mind also the MSM discussed the "coffee" party and they had 166,000 members on Facebook in days. While the MSM never gives the Tea Party attention).
COFFEE PARTY - 206,727, 1,627, 41 total members of top three "like" pages on Facebook
=208,401
TEA PARTY - 185,065, 1,065, 67,090 total members of the top three like pages on Facebook
=253,220
But if you go state by state and look at the figures the number for the "coffee" party the numbers drop considerably compared to the Tea Parties.
MICHIGAN COFFEE PARTY 1,627
MICHIGAN TEA PARTY- oh yeah that's right we don't have links to sites on the corporate Facebook page like the "coffee" party.
And if you look at the numerous pictures of the rallies...oh wait there is none.
But I can tell you that 3000+ showed up in Clinton twp. when the tea party express was here and only 44 showed up for the "coffee" party when they held a rally in Troy. And 1 million Tea Partiers Marched on Washington 9/12.
You be the judge.

Around the week in a few short stories
GM PAYS BACK AUTO BAILOUT?
Well not really, GM was able to repay the money by drawing down on a line of credit that it had from TARP! In other words, GM took funds still available to it through TARP and used those funds to repay the loan it received from the government. Of course, it now owes $4.7 billion on its line of credit with TARP, but, that doesn't make for good news, so it wasn't reported.
ARIZONA PASSES IMMIGRATION BILL
In a controversial move and fed up with waiting for the federal government to step in and help Arizona passed sweeping legislation. The measure creates a new state misdemeanor crime of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document. It would allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they're legally in the country.
DETROIT POLICE: STRIP CLUB EMPLOYED 14 YEAR OLD
The manager of a Detroit strip club was charged after authorities learned a 14-year-old girl was employed as a topless dancer, making several hundred dollars a night, authorities said Friday. The 31-year-old manager of the All Star topless bar was arraigned Friday on a charge of child sexually abusive activity. Andrew Hutson was arrested Wednesday night at the club on Eight Mile Road. The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, is believed to have danced at the club several nights each week, making about $350 per night, Police Chief Warren Evans said at a news conference across the street from the establishment.

VIRGINA TO TEACH GUN SAFETY IN SCHOOLS
11 YEAR OLD RAPE VICTIM WANTS TO KEEP BABY
Just a few stories, untill next time.
Obama hates gays... Seriously.
Earlier this week A group of Gay Rights Protesters chained themselves to the White House fence. The small demonstration consisted of 6 military veterans who handcuffed themselves to the fence. They group was protesting the "don't ask, don't tell policy that Obama promised to repeal months ago. The don't ask, don't tell policy bans gays from openly serving in the military.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
When reporters tried to cover the event police stepped in and declared the park to be closed, backing up reporters and citizens to Lafayette Park.
The closure lasted 15-20 minutes and police changed their minds about "closing" the park and let the reporters and public back in just as they were getting arrested.
No where could I find this on the MSM and I ask, if this was still Bush's Administration would the coverage be different? I think we all know the answer to this one.
