I don't suppose the "teabaggers" are at all concerned that Minnesota is being denied equal representation because of frivolous lawsuits launched by LOSER Coleman!

1. The IRS does not tend to appreciate political statements made through tax nonpayment.
They're real spoilsports about that.

7. You're right of course!
I just meant, they have more of a reason to be teabaggin' than the tantrummers at Faux.

2. well technically, of course
you'd be paying 2/3rds of your taxes, since you still have a congressional rep. unless you live in Bachmann's district, then you just have entertainment.

dc, on the other hand...

3. Wait a minute, this is an idea
REAL tea parties, in the spirit of the 1773 protest, would stress taxation without representation, which is what Minnesotans have in this case. Or at least half representation.

And they could do it without the juvenile Fux drama queen hysteria, it would be a nice contrast.

6. I've said it before and I'll say it again and again
we've only had one Senator since Wellstone died so we're used to this - and this is better than having Norman back in there and working against us.

Though, with Klobuchar flirting with Blue Dogs, we may soon be down to no representation in the Senate.
