Thought I’d share this with y’all since it got reTweeted about eight times after I posted it yesterday:
“Hatfields & McCoys”? If I wanted to watch a bunch of cranky white people who can’t be reasoned with, I’d go to a Tea Party meeting…
I wasn’t just trying to be funny. When I had considered whether I wanted to watch that, that really was the first thought that came to me.
Actual LOL here from both me and the professor.
And yet there I go again, picking on the hoi polloi…
Too bad, you three missed a good program.
I think the Tea Party demographics are more elite than the population at large, so you’re safe.
You could have said “If I wanted to watch a bunch of cranky white people who can’t be reasoned with, I’d go to an Occupy Rally.”
Except you’d have been wrong since there wouldn’t be a bunch of people there. It would just be a few.

You could have said “If I wanted to watch a bunch of cranky white people who can’t be reasoned with, I’d go to an Rotary Meeting or The Capitol City Club.”
The Occupiers are not cranky. It’s more of a love-in than the “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more” of the TP.
and, Steven–Rotarians are not cranky in the least, this writer aside. Rotarians are the exact opposite of cranky. When I first went, I commented that it was an irony-free zone.
The power of positive thinking rules at Rotary.
@Kathryn, is this correction more accurate?
“If I wanted to watch a bunch of cranky white people who can’t be reasoned with, I’d go to an Rotary Meeting or The Capitol City Club.”
Okay HTML tags don’t work here.
““If I wanted to watch a bunch of white people who can’t be reasoned with, I’d go to an Rotary Meeting or The Capitol City Club.””
