The Tea Party’s splendid successes, which have altered the nation’s political vocabulary and agenda, have inspired a countermovement — Occupy Wall Street.

So far, probably fewer people have participated in all of them combined than attended just one Tea Party rally, that of Sept. 12, 2009, on the Washington Mall.

I’ll listen. But could anything be worse than my nervous, hypochondrical, dwarfish, cowardly mayor?

I posted on another link that I wonder what Bloomberg will do if/when there is a wide-spread epidemic in NY caused by all of this filth. Bedbugs will be the least of his problems.

watched a [program last night about bedbugs, EEK

said 25% of hotels have bedbugs which can be brought home, Thankfully I can’;t afford hotels so I will not get bedbugs but it said Y City is crawling with them all over and I bet they have moved in the shanty town of obamaville
