Thursday’s Open Thread
Tea Parties, John Carney running for Congress, and Charlie Copeland launches another website, oh my! BTW, if you haven’t checked out DV’s video montage of Wilmington’s tea parties you’ve missed some great reporting. (I’ve linked to one, but there’s plenty more!)
‘Bulo gives us another great Republican breakdown, while DelawareDem issues a Thank You and Jason rescues a comment that doesn’t reflect well on the GOP.
What’s on your minds today?

Steve Benen’s take on George Will’s highly strange opinion piece on not liking denim.
Will actually wrote this, in 2009:
Where oh where did I place my girdles, garter belts and crinolines?
That’s one of the saddest statements I’ve ever read.
If there was no denim than I would be forced to go around in public on Saturdays without pants.
And trust me, you don’t want that.
DD,
Just ask yourself: would Fred Astaire have done that? No complaining that you’re too young to remember Fred Astaire.
The secession talk is really heating up. Gov. Rick Perry talked about it again at a Texas tea party, to shouts in the crowd of “secede!” I also saw a quick blurb that now the Georgia state senate is having secession talk. I think this is a lot of hot air, of course, but will Republicans get punished for their crazy talk?
Secession talk is likely to have all sorts of repercussions. If you want to secede then are you obligated to obey the laws of the land? More fuel to the fire. Hope they know what they’re stirring up. That “it was just one crazy person” line is pretty much over. Geez, when did these guys abandon all attempts at subtly.
Nothing says “I Love America!” more than threatening to leave it.
Hope they know what they’re stirring up.
Please. If the past 8 years demonstrate anything, they demonstrate the fact that conservatives think they live in a cartoonland in which effect is divorced from cause.

Nothing says I believe in the priciples behind America like saying I will leave it for having abandoned those priciples. Like Reagan Said
“I didn’t leave the Democratic party it left me”
