>>Furious at the tempest over the Tea Party -- the scattershot citizen uprising against big government and wild spending -- Annabel Park did what any American does when she feels her voice has been drowned out: She squeezed her anger into a Facebook status update.

let's start a coffee party . . . smoothie party. red bull party. anything but tea. geez. ooh how about cappuccino party? that would really piss 'em off bec it sounds elitist . . . let's get together and drink cappuccino and have real political dialogue with substance and compassion.

Friends replied, and more friends replied. So last month, in her Silver Spring apartment, Park started a fan page called "Join the Coffee Party Movement." Within weeks, her inbox and page wall were swamped by thousands of comments from strangers in diverse locales, such as the oil fields of west Texas and the suburbs of Chicago.

I have been searching for a place of refuge like this for a long while. . . . It is not Us against the Govt. It is democracy vs corporatocracy . . . I just can't believe that the Tea Party speaks for all patriotic Americans. . . . Just sent suggestions to 50 friends . . . I think it's time we start a chapter right here in Tucson . . . <<

Interesting.

5. No. The opposite of the Tea Party-ers are the goooh.com-ers.

Trojan horse GOP vs. We The People

7. Since I Drink Neither Tea nor Coffee, I Feel Excluded

and I'm not of the Pepsi Generation, either....

This is a good idea, though. Trouble is, it doesn't have that historical connotation.

Maybe Coffeehouse Party would be more apt. It was in coffee houses in this continent and the Old Country that political dialog occurred and revolutions were ignited.
