I remember back in April 2009 the media and a few people in the crowd used the term. I had a Beavis & Butt-Head moment when I heard it on cable news.

The first usage of 'tea party' was by the Boston Tea Party, founded to protest neocon Bob Barr's hijacking of the Libertarian Party presidential nomination in 2008.

There was also a event that occured in Seatle prior to Santelli either to protest Tarp or the Stimulus bill. I can't remember which.

Actually, I must correct myself. The Boston Tea Party was founded in 2006. 2008 was just their first presidential election.


Santelli was an establishment hypocrite who damanged the credibility of the tea party.

Though I remember those dark days when Obama-Bush-McCain were pushing for that horrific bankster takeover scheme against the will of the American people. Santelli supported it behind his rhetoric.

anarcho-Catholicism?  inventing labels for genres and ideologies is a pastime of mine, particularly when sucking down a few PBRs with some buddies at school, but I never came up with anything close to that one.  tell me more, Libertas.

I was about to correct you on that but you caught yourself. The Boston Tea Party was founded in 2006 after the Libertarian Party platform was moderated.

anarcho-Catholicism?  inventing labels for genres and ideologies is a pastime of mine, particularly when sucking down a few PBRs with some buddies at school, but I never came up with anything close to that one.  tell me more, Libertas.

I have no ideology.

that's an ideology of its own, so just tell me more, I'm your audience!  you long for moments like these!

What's your ideology?

I was sitting at the desk today reading Homage to Catalonia when a co-worker walks in and briskly past and travelled up the stairs, for good - but the smell of pizza lingered.  I was immediately stricken with a pervasive craving for two slices of pepperoni pizza.  this was difficult to justify, as I had just been out on my 'lunch break', which I spent driving to 7-11, listening to a caller on the Limbaugh program discuss how his kindergarten-age daughter had grown fat due to eating the school's chicken nuggets and macaroni every day, drinking a Super Big Gulp's worth of Diet Coke (which I throughly enjoyed, as I didn't have my usual 69mg caffeine hit in the morning, deeming it unnecessary due to the uncharacteristic 9+ hours of sleep I'd attained overnight), and reading some pages of Irving Howe's Socialism and America.  but the craving just refused to dissipate, so I Googled 'Bravo's Pizza', and briskly walking out of the office asked the pizza lady to throw in two slices of pepperoni pie for me, I'm down the street walking towards the outlet and will arrive in three minutes.  from that point on all went well, I enjoyed my pie while sitting at the desk and ranking all 30 MLB teams on ESPN.com, a task I didn't bother finishing.  so, yeah, I'm a born & bred anarcho-syndicalist.

Boss Tweed drinking PBR is the least surprising revelation in quite a while.  He really has "hipster douche" down.

Good to hear.

I requested black anarchist avatars quite a while ago, but the administration still hasn't gotten around to implementing them.

All the "elite" schools drink it. It's pretty much all they have at the University of Chicago, and they allow you to drink it in their school buildings (or at least, don't stop you from doing it)! Might be the only area private > public.
