Oh wait…
Never mind.
Actually, there was an amazingly diverse crowd here on the Boston Common today: old, young, men, women, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, business, casual. But there was one thing unifying the whole crowd: they were all smiling; they were all glad to be there; they were all having fun!
And it was a great day for a tea party. I met up with Boston-area blogger extraordinaire Sissy Willis of Sisu, who was working the crowd and having a great time with husband Tuck in tow. I was wearing my Tea Party 2010 tee shirt and presented one to Sissy as well. Sissy, maybe we should make it a habit of doing this every year!
Here’s just a few photos to tide you over until I can sit down and and do some proper editing.
New Tea Party attendee John brought his own version of Yankee ingenuity in his two-sided telescoping sign, and was having a blast!
While there were clearly some “false flag” operations (I got photos of signs and faces, and will post them later), the vast majority of people were there to hear Sarah Palin, exercise their First Amendment rights, and enjoy a beautiful Boston spring day.
More to come!
UPDATE: Instalanche! Many thanks, Professor Reynolds. Instapundit readers, welcome! Put up your feet and make yourselves at home.

A mighty fine post. Suggest you email at once to the Professor! You’ve captured the spirit of the day perfectly in your own inimitably concise, terse, pithy way.
We are decompressing with cocktails, and I am basking in the glow of a fresh new Instalanche for the post I sent in just before we headed out this morning. SO wonderful to see you again, and I will treasure the tee shirt you gave me.
Done! Instalanche in 3, 2, 1… ???
So great to see you, and we really must not wait until Tea Party 2011 to get together again!

What a joke! The American people have figured it out. The tea-party is really the far right extreme fringe of the republican party. They tried to act like they were inclusive because they wanted to trick democrats and reasonable independents into thinking their only issue was the debt but the tea-party is really a southern redneck/confederate organization, with 68% of its’ rank and file members being in the south. That leaves 32% of rank and file tea-partiers scattered throughout the rest of the country so really the bulk of this movement is southern confedate rednecks who want their slaves back.
I’ts mostly southern white people. They’re still racist after all these years. They are still fighting the civil war. These tea-partiers are indecent and immoral rednecks.
First of all, do not even consider those really comfortable but ripped jeans (you should actually
avoid jeans altogether unless they are a dark wash and high-waisted).
For office casual, pants and skirts do not have to be like a
hardcore formal wear. All fashions were hand-made, hand-sewn, seamstresses and tailors became a common trade and
the difference between fashionable and just casual such as an off the shoulders dress became easy to distinguish and more and more people learned to express themselves, that is until sewing machines were
invented and the clothing industry exploded.
