Tempest in a Teapot

     From the second I caught wind of the 'Tea Party' rebellion, I knew a bad idea. For one, who names a political party the 'Tea Party"? These days, nothing short of "Coffee Party" is going to cut it. But last week, O'Donnell won the Republican senate primary for Delaware. More shockingly, O'Donnell is a woman. What's she doing out of the kitchen? The Tea Party is veering politics in all sorts of new directions.

    Ladies, we're all worried about the economy (or lack of it) right now. Is O'Donnell the best idea for a Senate seat? Yes, she has plenty of experience with finances. A few years ago, she didn’t pay her federal taxes, leading to the foreclosure of her house. Too bad Palin, her most enthusiastic supporter, says, "We should not reward poor financial decisions."

     Based on the article, the Republicans were forced to choose between succumbing to the Democrats and supporting the Tea Party during the bailout. Voting alongside Democrats would be unthinkable, so Tea Party it was. Little did they know, this decision would come back to bite them in the form of Christine O'Donnell.

    I think the Democrats will keep the Delaware seat come November. However, O’Donnell admits that she has dabbled in witchcraft... Maybe she’ll get into her Gringotts vault and bribe her way in.

     All in all, O'Donnell is a fantastic candidate for the Senate. You'd be hard pressed to find another nominee who has the same excellent taste in nail polish. And she’s dumb and pretty; no wonder she and Palin are so close.
