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.

Debbie Does Government Agencies too.
Instead of the S E C (the securities and exchange commission) doing their job, policing the financial system, they were downloading hours of porn on Government issued computers throughout the worst collapse of the economy in 70 years.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The memo says 31 of those probes occurred in the 2 1/2 years since the financial system teetered and nearly crashed.
Not only does this violate Government wide ethics rules but it was all done on... You guessed the American taxpayers expense.
The report comes just days after the
S E C charged Goldman Sachs with fraud and days before the Senate tries to overhaul the financial system.
The memo was written by SEC Inspector General David Kotz in response to a request from Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. It summarizes past inspector general probes and reports some shocking findings:
-- A senior attorney at the SEC's Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography. When he ran out of hard drive space, he burned the files to CDs or DVDs, which he kept in boxes around his office. He agreed to resign, an earlier watchdog report said.
-- An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "Sex" or "Pornography." Yet he still managed to amass a collection of "very graphic" material on his hard drive by using Google images to bypass the SEC's internal filter, according to an earlier report from the inspector general. The accountant refused to testify in his defense, and received a 14-day suspension.
-- Seventeen of the employees were "at a senior level," earning salaries of up to $222,418.
-- The number of cases jumped from two in 2007 to 16 in 2008. The cracks in the financial system emerged in mid-2007 and spread into full-blown panic by the fall of 2008.
Another Government Agency that fails to protect the markets and the American people.

I'm a socialist
This week former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told a young Democratic Socialist group that they should "do everything they can to build their organization and the times we are living in are worse then the Jim Crow era."
She then went on to say "Any of these groups that says, "I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist," is okay with me. You know that's no light thing to do -- to actually say, I'm a socialist."
But wait there's more "They are coming. And they are coming after you. And they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They've already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement -- a bowel-movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism..."
Here is why this is such a big deal or as Joe Biden would say "a big f**king deal.". One, although ACORN "disbanded" when they were caught on video helping "clients" cover up a prostitution ring. Unfortunately they never actually disbanded and to make matters worse Congress who took away there federal funding months ago just reinstated it.
Two, like I just said they receive federal funding and they received huge amounts of money in Obama's "stimulus" bill. Why should my tax money go to this socialist group?
Three, they covered up or at least tried to cover up voter fraud.
The problem I have is that Obama is very close to this group I mean he practically started his career there. And to top it off the only reason they were included in the stimulus is because Obama had to give them a kickback for helping him get elected.
So our taxpayer money will still go to ACORN and we still will fund liars and the only way to change it is to vote them out in November.

An Inconvenient Dupe
Another country (New Zealand) is now looking into whether or not to show a warning before showing Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" in schools.
In 2007 a British judge ruled that the movie contained so much false information that it had to be disclosed to students before being shown.
The petition in New Zealand signed by 250 people argues that students should not be exposed to political indoctrination and asks Parliament to insert into the Education Act provisions similar to those in the British act.
In order for the film to be shown [in England], the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children. [Newsbusters]
Instead of informing children or these things why just not show the movie? It has been proven to be inaccurate and with the recent scandal of climategate. And to add to that only 18% of American people think global climate change is real.
Al Gore invented Global Climate Change just like he invented the internet.
