You always see a lot of RV's and motor homes in the background.
Is Sarah Palin the new Jerry Garcia?
I don't know much about the deadhead crowd. Seemed they were druggies.
Never cared for that kind of music, being a country fan.
The Tea Party folks look pretty clean cut, but out of shape.
Most are overweight or obese. Look like typical retired folks, or desk
jockeys.
I'm guessing they use a lot of prescription drugs, mostly paid for by
Medicare. Stuff for high blood pressure, diabetes, penis stiffening,
etc.
But they sure don't seem like deadheads. I don't count when they're
talking. Just appearances.
Anybody here a Tea Party member?
Anybody a former deadhead?
I'd like to hear some comparisons.
I'm interested in cultural phenomena, is why I ask.

I never was into the Greatful Dead

I liked the Dead twice as much as Looking Glass. The Dead had 2 songs
I liked. ;-)

I liked the Dead. Not all songs were great, but they put on a good show. I
remember them playing for free out in the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park,
years before they were real famous. I worked not that far from the
Haight-Ashbury area and went to school out near GG park.

I love that group... saw them several times, but I don't think I'm old
enough to be considered a Deadhead. I was pretty young then.

The only difference being the acid that Garcia's fans ingested being
manufactured naturally in the brains of Palin's followers.

Out of minds, too.

Barcoloungers, TV trays and Fox News.

Don't you strip funding from medicare to pay for that damned
socialized medicine!!!

Scotty, BAR, Canuck, (the real) Jim, Dan (Larry, Rob, Margaret)
Krueger, Herring when he's ambulatory, Jack Mehoff, and a host of
others. Actually a combination of birthers, deathers and teabaggers.

Deadheads could dance like hippies. Teabaggers look like they have a
horrific case of hemorrhoids.


It's Barcalounger in that context.

Wow, I see JPS and the other bigots here are not slowing down much. What
is it about the democrat party that makes them so vulgar and dishonest?
Is it something inherent in the "gimmee" ideology???
