FYI-Tea Party meeting in Pittsburgh tonight @ Soldiers and Sailors

Hall (I think). Talked to a neighbor while on the elevator, he said he was going to the tea party, I said "what's that? I told him to be careful, he said oh yeag, it's going to be bad.

This man is in his '60's, retired teamster, who's upset with the teamsters because his pension is "only" $1800 per month. But he has to be getting social security too. He said his wife's pension is $2400 per month. That's over $50,000 per year + social security. That's more than m;y wages as a teacher. And he's pissed at unions, I think it did well by him.

1. The Anger Disconnect

The constant push on anger, the RW whipping the 'Baggers to an angry froth... I swear it's done something to their minds. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Tell him he should donate all that to charity.
