It was a great idea, really. Take a million tea bags and
dump them in Lafayette Park to protest government spending.
Hip, hip, hoo-ray!
But a funny thing happened en route to a visually pleasing
Tax Day protest. The National Park Service said
the tea party protesters didn't have the proper permit to dump
their bags.
So instead of a raucous visual demonstration, all that was
left were images of the tea party packing up their boxes of tea
on a cold, soggy day in D.C.
Doh!
You've got to be kidding -- these supposedly indignant taxpayers
don't follow through on their plans because of a permit?! I don't
think that was an issue at Boston Harbor...
Do they issue permits to everyone who trashes the National Mall
every Fourth of July?
