Tea Grounds 0

There is nothing new about teabaggers.

Teabagging is not a movement; it’s a publicity campaign. As a publicity campaign, it has succeeded: it’s attracted and distracted the media most skillfully.

As a movement, it is the same old elitist, corporatist, odiously-Southern-strategic right wing grounds dressed up in new flow-through bags.

From the Denver Post:

Tea Party activists have stormed the GOP state assembly, scrutinized candidates at forums across Colorado and regularly protested policies and politicians they dislike since first splashing into the political pool about 15 months ago.

What they haven’t done is deliver more voters to the GOP ranks, which have instead dwindled a bit and left the much-hyped movement’s impact on the general election even less clear.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
