Tea Party Attempts To Stop Gulf Oil Spill By Shouting Slogans At It

LOUISIANA – Emboldened by their protests against the United States government, several Tea Party organizations made their way to Louisiana this morning in an effort to stop the massive Gulf oil spill by shouting slogans at it.

“Don’t Tread on me!” shouted one protester near the marshlands along Louisiana’s southern coast.

“GET A BRAIN! MORANS,” read one sign.

According to estimates, between 150 and 35,000 Tea Partiers showed up for the event, as the corporate grassroots movement attempted to show they could rally to help America in any emergency. Tea Party leader Mark Williams said the show of patriotism should prove to U.S. citizens that Tea Party organizations are for “America First.”

“We’re not going to allow this oil spill destroy precious American land without having our say,” said Williams. “This oil spill is an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief.”

Later today, Tea Party star Sarah Palin is expected to fly to Mississippi to speak to affected coastal residents at a local community center. Residents will be allowed to listen to her words of hope and encouragement for a small donation to a local anti-abortion organization.

2. Local Mosquitoes were disappointed by the poor turnout
and the lack of variety in blood, but still had a good time sampling the attendees.
