White House Locked Down

Presented without comment but with a huge grin and big chuckle. . . from the Kansas City Star

Protesters throw apparent tea bags at White House

The Secret Service says a suspicious package thrown over the fence and onto the White House's North Lawn was not dangerous.

Tax protesters threw what appeared to be a box of tea bags toward the White House on Wednesday, prompting officials to lockdown the compound. The Secret Service also used a robot to inspect the package thrown in an apparent act of defiance meant to echo the rebellion of the Boston Tea Party.

Demonstrators said they disapproved of government spending since President Barack Obama took office. They organized protests across the country, including outside the White House.

Obama can't be worried, after all he doesn't even know this is happening.

Was this hilarious or what? Sending in the robots to open a box of tea. . .

mmm yes it might be a problem when his biggest concern is $1.99 at your local acme. worst case scenario there is bo munches on the tea bags and they have a hyperactive puppy for a few hours.

(actually, NP has eaten tea. too wound on a regular basis to tell if it affects him)

and you're right, i should read this more often.

Translation -- daughter # 1 is that Philly kid of mine. NP is the Good Infidel Dog & she's right. He is too wound a pooch to tell if eating the teabags affects him. Be funny to see how it affects Bo.

At least you're reading it, kid, not like the ninnies getting their news from the Enquirer or Channel 3.

And we're way more fun.
