Tea for Two Million
I was in DC at the American History Museum on Saturday to sign copies of The Great White House Breakout, a children’s book I co-authored with Helen Thomas. I signed quite a few books for Tea Party protesters coming in from the Mall.
They seemed friendly for angry people. A guy from New Jersey told me there were a million and a half people on the Mall but that the MSM would call it tens of thousands. Technically that wouldn’t be wrong. It would just be a question of how many tens of thousands. Sure enough Sunday’s Post described Tens of Thousands of protesters.
Conservative protesters aren’t in your face like progressive protesters. They’re also funnier, although Billionaires for Bush were pretty funny at the 2004 GOP convention in NY. Some on the left have called the Tea Party types right wing terrorists. That’s so over the top that many protesters now identify themselves as Right Wing Terrorists. One guy took it a step further by adopting another popular pejorative, Tea Bagger. He was dressed in a giant burlap bag with 2 real tea bags dangling from it and a sign saying, “dip me in Boston Harbor again”.
Cartoonist Acted Stupidly
That would be me. Tony Stalls of the Arlington, VA FOP Lodge NOVA 35 tells me that the FOP endorsed McCain. I could say the guy in the cartoon only has an FOP sticker on his Obama supporting car so he won’t get a ticket. But that would be wrong.
Children’s Book Signing
I’ll be signing copies of The Great White House Breakout with Helen Thomas tomorrow night, June, 13 in Washington, DC . The Event is a Gala for the ADC, The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. Bill Clinton is the Keynote speaker ( here’s a link) and Helen will be honored.
Last Akron Beacon Journal Tour Group
November 7, 2008 was my last day at the Akron Beacon Journal. Over the past 22 years I’ve given many presentations to visiting tour groups. For my last cartoon I thought I’d allow readers to offer a few words of encouragement.
