Anti-government crowd finds new complaint: Public transit service should’ve been better

As it turns out, some of the marchers also had this odd complaint:

Not enough public transportation.

U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, a Republican from the Houston suburb of The Woodlands, wrote D.C. officials, saying older constituents had to walk or hail cabs and missed the start because overcrowded subways didn’t "provide a basic level of transit service."

Even The Wall Street Journal is laughing at Brady. Headline: "Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro Service."

Now let me get this right.

You go to Washington to vent about spending.

And then you complain that you can’t catch a publicly funded subway?

Almost as funny as all the tea-baggers telling "patriots" to tear down their American flags and stain them with tea, thereby defacing them. Y'know - because they love the flag and the country so much...

Oh, and the VERY conservative little town of Taylor, Texas just had a big protest and petition against having a rehab center open up in town for wounded Iraq war veterans. Because "Support Our Troops" really means "Not In My Back Yard!". One of the worries was that these wounded veterans would snap in a fit of post-traumatic stress and open fire on old people crossing the street and kids on bikes. I shit you not.
