There’s Going To Be A Tea Party Magazine?

By Mark Lorenz on February 8th, 2011

You have to admire the persistence of people in sticking to archaic and, to be candid, weird political beliefs forged out of imprudent and grandiose fears. Also, crossword puzzles. Which I’m assuming this will include.

The Tea Party has taken America by storm, putting a name to the symptom of Americans voting against their own interest that’s been plaguing us for years. Now we have a name for it. The Tea Party. Thankfully, they’re not as much of a political force as they are in their own heads, but even more positive? They’ve come out with a magazine. A Tea Party magazine. Which means we’ll be blessed with articles written by the principal intellectual minds leading the raid on the status quo. Can you image? Full page centerfolds featuring hot women hunting communists. Articles about finding the most American sport, and how drinking light beer makes you of a questionable sexual orientation, therefore you shouldn’t be able to get married.

I hope there are pictures. I hope there are graphs, drawn in crayon, maybe comic strips. Like Family Circus. I hope they feature a tea-partier of the month, capture the movement in photos, so hundreds of years from now, our great-grandchildren will be able to make confused faces as they learn about this in AP classes.
