Back home and pumped from the experience. Made several slogan posters, but it was Michael’s idea that got the most laughs. No kidding! Folks simply loved it. AND of the thousands of posters, there was no other like it. Added my artwork and ideas. Enjoyed walking around showing it off ’cause people would nudge family members and friends to make sure they got a look at it. I’ll bet over a hundred folks asked and then took a picture of me with it this poster….
.
Made some friends and heard great stuff from the speakers, but above all I experienced what it means to hear the truth and sense some real hope again. WE ARE NOT ALONE and WE ARE NOT CRAZY. Next Tea Party – July 4th!
Muchas gracias to neighbor Kent for being my Buddy all evening. He’d fit right in at IB.
Note: No live Bluebonnets were injured, violated, or abused in the decorating of the cowboy hat.
These gals got a lot of cheers from the crowd.
Spunky Slogan from a Typical-Texan Lady.
Clowning around with the happy crowd.
Cute RightWingExtremist Babes are askin' for it!!
Good Neighbor Kent.
For Wicked Pinto: Hal Holbrook look-alike shares "Atlas Shrugged" reference.
Fun Folks at a Family Affair.
Playing "Cowboys & Indians"
Right Wing Extremist got impregnated to wear T-Shirt!
So just how tall is 78,000 pages of Porkulus?
Mine was snarkier.
All right Cathy! You look gorgeous and your hoop earrings really play to the pirate theme!
Could’a at least burnina’d a shirt with the 1.85 trillion thing.
No, that’s okay, you hate me, I’m gonna go eat chocolate icecream, and I really dislike chocolate, and icecream.
It was great meeting you, Cathy. I got your picture up at http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=view-event&event-id=935
Boy, am I pooped.
BTW, I’m kidding, just running with an oh woe is me thing.
Lovely hat, but the sign seems a bit “Lutheran” to me.
Good looking hat ………. for a subversive.
As the DHS says – Yer all a bunch of Rightwing Extremists!
You look gorgeous and your hoop earrings really play to the pirate theme!
Good on you, Lipstick! Cathy needs to know she is properly accessorized as she tries to foment a rebellion.
So, where were all of these fights, racist comments, threats, and hateful comments Kos, MSNBC, MediaMatters, and Huffpo kept claiming would happen today?
And it may just be me, but the protests seemed orderly, calm, and patchouli free today.
friggen hippies!!
Represent !!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!13456356
Hippie’s rock, it’s all in whether it’s upper or lower case.
That is Excellent! Wish I could have been there.
Your sign would have been bigger.
@#5 RandomNumbers!! Awesome. It was GREAT to meet you. See you on July 4th, I’m hoping.
Thanks Lipstick. Glad you noticed my accessories.
Michael is a good hubby to know what’s important to me.
Add what accoutrements you please, they never outshine your beautiful face.
Awwww. WickedSweetie. SquishyHug!
Way to go Cathy.
Thanks Skinny. I had a ball!
I had a ball!
Bad turn of phrase in this media environment.
Random,
Peel aparently doesn’t know how blog meme’s work, so you have to find your way to her, rather than her hunting you down.
It’s a good meme, at least in my mind, it’s about books.
I’m just saying, random story following.
Bad turn of phrase in this media environment.
Hey! I’m a Right Wing Extremist!
Who gives a flying flip?!
I might have told this story to some, but I don’t think I did it openly.
When I was in, you have these things called “secretaries” they are one piece desks and bookshelves, in case you didn’t know.
Well, when you are in, you tend to take all of the things you value and put them in your secretary, not your locker (unless they are shoes, you keep your shoes in the locker, but because of inspections, you don’t every want to eff with y our locker, unless there is no way in hell you will be board, I was always board) including special clothes, memento’s CD’s and books.
My roommate and I were both excused from work for the day, and while we went in in the morning to make everything with our sections was cool, we left in the afternoon when we thought everything was okay, so there I am with Eric, drinking beer, when the staff duty comes in on “field day.” to inspect our room, we were already drinking and a little drunk.
The duty walks in for the inspection, “would have been nice if you knocked sir.” My roommate said.
“Don’t forget to pet phydeaux, sir.” (phydeaux was our plant, there was even a sign “I’m phydeaux I like beer.” in his planter.)
“Don’t let me interfere Marines.” (we were in civvies, he didn’t know our ranks)
“Don’t let us sir, want us to leave?”
Eric (my roommate) was at the fridge grabbing a beer, and he handed it to me, and grabbed the rest of the beer.
“No, No, it’s just a normal field day.”
“can you get me one eric? want one sir?”
Since we were present, we left our “secretaries” which are usually locked up like fort knox, open, which means the duty could inspect the interiors.
The duty, who we knew, and we knew knew us, started to rifle through our secretaries, and he pulls out my favorite civvies, and sets them down to inspect my secretary filled with CD’s, and inspects my roommates secretary (he basicaly lived in town, so he didn’t stash his shit in the secretary anymore) which is filled with CD’s, and he looks at the eclectic collections we both had, and when he was finished with the inspection, he stopped in front of us.
We thought our sarcasm might have gone too far, which would have been bad, cuz we were both “board,” and this could hurt us.
“can I borrow a few CD’s?”
“sure, but you have to log them in the Barracks duty desk, so we can reclaim it.”
(that’s a joke)
he scoffed it off, showed us what he was borrowing, and as he was walking out he said, “If your taste in music says anything, it means you are some interesting interesting guys.”
I take that as one of my greatest compliments ever.
Lovely picture of you Cathy, and a great poster! I documented my own Tea Party experience here.
We tend to be a rather atractive crowd to tell the truth White Lily.
OH SHIT!!! I just thought of something. . . .
Is part of the reason I got the parsimmon room because one of you remembered me talking about having wall to wall shelves that brother and I built for my books when I was a kid?
Maybe that’s why I was so comfortable in that room.
This made me think of the customary gift basket Cathy put’s together for the meatups.
She’s a good hostess.
The Dallas Tea Party was GREAT! I managed to do a two-hour live broadcast. I might re-play it this Friday.
Pinto, I’m too lazy to tag others. geoff should do that meme, though.
Thanks for the roundup, Cathy! Great sign! Next time, maybe a parrot for your shoulder?
Question: Are the news media seriously making jokes about teabagging on air? I assumed that was exaggeration, but I saw a screenshot of a headline that said something like “Conservative Teabagging.” Are they really making such vulgar remarks on primetime?? I expect those kinds of jokes on AOSHQ, but from the actual news media, on air?
Anderson Cooper did yesterday. That’s the only one I know about, but there are others reported.
Of course, I have absolutely no idea what it means. Multiple consecutive random blog comments?
I learned about it from AOSHQ, of course. The number of vulgar and/or perverted things I’ve learned on AOSHQ is quite disturbing.
Random fact: I have had 2 free weekends this year. Total. (And yes, geoff has me beat. I’m just whining.)
Hey, anybody got a good recipe for tuna noodle casserole?
There’s no such thing.
I can tart it up. I love tuna, anyway. I’ll use real fresh tuna steaks instead of the canned stuff…
Tuna, noodles, rum.
Mix, enjoy.
Lutherans cook with rum? I had no idea.
The thought of a steaming hot pile of tuna mixed with noodles coming out of the oven makes me gag.
*gag
34: That should be Ace’s new slogan:
“We Turn Good Girls Bad!”

FWIW, here are some STL photos not taken from me. I actually had a pleasant night myself. My daughter was able to ride her training wheeled bicycle all by herself for 100 yards.
I have been reading some of the leftists comments on the parties held yesterday and it is a shame they just don’t get it.
Why do they hate us so much, I would really like to know the answer to that.
I think it is because they are very text booky dysfunctional, they have issues they have never dealt with and us the “right” as a punching bag-I am a conservative and am considered at threat? It must be because we represent adult supervision.
There is no wisdom from their side, only dribble and hate.
Someone tell me why they are threatened by someone like me and why do they hate someone like me.
If it weren’t for people like me there would not have been an America and we would have been part of the United Kingdom or Belgium or Spain-the ones who held half the world in their commonwealths.
Please explain this upside down world to me.
The thought of a steaming hot pile of tuna mixed with noodles coming out of the oven makes me gag.
…while the notion of lauraw “tarting it up” has a completely different effect…
Please explain this upside down world to me.
For starters, you play golf. That’s one good reason to hate you.
Geoff, you noticed that too?
I think I, I don’t know what I think. I sure couldn’t do any arithmetic right now, no sirreebob.
WTF? Oh, wrong email address. There’s my FAE.
Welcome 12-Step. Pay no attention to Batman @ 45. He’s jealous. It’s hard to play golf well wearing a black cape and full mask. *looks kinda goofy too*
Visit often. Stick around. You ask good questions. But you read leftest blog crap and expect you’ll find the answers?!! As Coulter says, if they had any brains, they’d be Republicans/Conservatives.
Accept it. We are hated. It’s more than tolerable… you can enjoy it.
I don’t have a recipe, Laura, but I’m sure Cathy does.
I can tell you that it is not legally a Lutheran tuna noodle casserole unless there is cream of mushroom soup involved (also know as Lutheran binder).

Love it, Cathy! who knew you were such an artiste!
I think the clown picture sums up the event nicely.
Cathy should be listed on the ‘Main Page Commenters’ list. The list is a bit outdated.
I hope we can throw Obama overboard and keep the tea.
Looking forward to the July 4th one. I hear there’s going to be ten or so of these events planned. More!
We need a tea party around the last week of October every two years or so, in even-numbered years.
Thats so weird because the left wing Obama pocket media would have one believe there was only a few hundred at each tea party. Why do these media folks keep insisting it is all about Taxes? I thought it was about bloated government and insane spending.
A friend went to one of the Tea Parties here in the DFW area and FOUR Obama supporters were protesting on the other side of the street from where her event was taking place. She said the news media were giving that piddly troupe of Obama folks most of the media attention.
Go. Figure.
All the more reason we simply can’t stop squawking about this crap.
I cant wait until 4th of July. I am going to the next one. Great pictures!

I think we should all say a prayer for President “O” Something must open his eyes to such a great number of people that just want thier country back. To see and hear some of the hate being said by the dem. is so very sad. To think that Pres. “O” could apoligize to France, and others,and call us arogant, and then from the other corner of his mouth say that he is unaware of all the Tea Parties is not something you want to hear from your President. I am not ashamed of my country, we live in the greatest country in the entire world that help others with our hearts. President Obama must embrace the very country that has put him where he is today and hear the thousands of cries for freedom.
WOOHOOO!!!!
IT takes one of the wimmins to push it to the top of wordpress!
ROCK ON CATHY!
NiceDeb is gonna invite you to co-blog before long.
Pinto, gotta give kudos to DaveInTexas and Michael for their help.
Thanks, Sweetie. Did you see the pic I added for you?
Marylu, I think you are on the right track.
Though there was some fun at Prez-O’s expense yesterday, many of us pray for him, for our country, and for the wisdom to know how to respond every day.
Been doing it pretty much since 9/11 through Bush’s terms also.
God have mercy on us.
I’m not honey right, cuz I see absolutely no boobies.
Sorry, Pinto. *snigger*
The Hal Holbrook look-alike with slogan referencing “Atlas Shrugged”
*Cheeze-Whizz!*
Oh, John Galt is so ubiquitous now, that it’s the reason I thought to myself, “wait a minute, I read that book, I know what it’s about. . . wait, DID I read that book?”
Like we were talking by the pool when you were wearing the clamshell bikini and I was talking about how a lot of people like to reference books without having read them.
And I swear, after re-reading Atlas Shrugged, I have NO CLUE as to if I read it before, it’s one of those books where the legend is almost greater than the book itself.
Clamshell bikini?
Well she got cold when she was naked.
Would have been a better delivery if I had said it this way.
“Well, she was cold and had to put SOMETHING on.”
If admin or ass admin want to clean it up for the better funny, I would appreciate it.
*wondering when somebody would fall for WP’s clamshell bikini bait*
Was wearing a v-neck t-shirt and have the farmer-tan-line to prove it..
Well, I figured that was better, than explaining that I had a brief and courteous exchange with julio, who just HAPPENED to show up right after michael left work.
Coincidence?
I report, you decide.
Pinto, you’re right — he DID show up right after Michael left for work!!
See?
I remember shit, so watch your steps.
Thanks for great coverage of the Dallas Tax Day Tea Party!! What a crowd! We can’t wait for the next tea party!! We must elect conservatives!!! Get busy everyone!!
Hahaha privates teehee.
Is that our own Evil Con Carne?
