Cheers!

How's this for financially encouraging words from teapartynation.com today?

"As I read the Constitution, Congress writes the laws and you get to decide what you are going to sign.”
Wow! There is a high and tight fastball aimed right at Obama. Can you guess who the pitcher is? It will shock you. It was none other than John Boehner. No freshly laundered white flag of surrender for him on Saturday. He was giving Obama some chin music. Has Boehner seen the light? Or just responding to the pressure from freshmen and from the people who are telling Boehner this time, no surrender.
Boehner is a politician so I know all too well not to get excited about him, but this is the power of the Tea Party at work. Boehner is not capitulating, at least not now."

(What follows are highlights of TPN's weekend Twitter "intervention" strategy)
- "Beltwayaddicts.com is the website for the intervention. The plan is very simple . . . social media as well as personal contacts with our Representatives to tell them to stop spending (for starters) $2.6 million of our tax dollars on a program to teach Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly, close to a million to study methane production from cows or to digitize images from concerts by the band, The Grateful Dead, $1.8 million to a museum for neon signs in Las Vegas, $35 million to phantom medical clinics that never existed . . . classic sign of an addiction."

- ". . . the Twitter Tea Party this weekend and the Washington Spending Addiction Intervention this week (are advising that) the government does not deserve any more of America’s money when it cannot even manage what it already has. Now is the time to keep the pressure on. Now they are listening. Now, we are winning."

. . . although Twitter is beyond me, here's my reply to this TPN article:

"BRAVO!!! - and my two cents worth about Speaker Boehner. I know that guy, not personally of course, but I've hung around with guys like him all my life so I can tell you even the best of character needs cheering from the stands. Our "players" may not always hear it, but the brave hearted feel the energy! Go, Go Go!!!"

OK, your turn - am I still too naive, too optimistic - or does it make sense for me to be fueling off my own merry-go-round?
