I can't stop reading about Teabagger craziness, though it's making my head explode. And serious-fucking-ly, Sarah Palin?

Your way is the way of sanity and low blood pressure!

I think what makes me feel even more blood-boiling mad when I read about Tea Partiers is knowing the my mother and her husband believe every single horrible thing the Tea Partiers shout about. And there is no amount of talking sense, logic, or facts that will ever convince them otherwise. It is literally like talking to a wall, except a wall doesn't come back with "oh yeah, well, illegal immigrants, blah blah blah." It is very frustrating to feel like I should be able to change their minds if I just use the right combination of words.

This reminds me of a quote from Utah Philips which, since I can't find it online, I will quasi-paraphrase:

Talking to a Republican is like talking to a refrigerator. It turns on. It turns off. It really doesn't do anything it's not programmed to. So I'm about as likely to talk to one as I would my refrigerator."

Of course he then goes on to talk about how Democrats spend all their time rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic...

I think I've got his entire spoken word/remixed by Ani DiFranco on box.net somewhere...
Good stuff.
