Just now:

Me: I want to buy Jason Mattera’s book.
He: What?
Me: I want to buy Jason Mattera’s book.
He: But we haven’t read it yet.
Me: Oh, sure, we can buy Jason (pause) Mattera’s book, but I’d also like to buy Jason Mattera’s book for us.

Related: in case you missed this over on Instapundit the other day, Jason Mattera greeted my favorite congressman, Alan Grayson, with stinging questions about the health care bill. Enjoy!

It should be noted Jason Mattera’s book is prominently displayed at my local Borders, and the pro-Obama books are getting harder to fine. This is huge, as the shrine to Obama was disgustingly big.

Seen on the shelf at K-mart:

It’s a basketball.

If it had been a soccer ball, I would have considered getting one so I could give it a good swift kick in the head.

Jason has been working on tea party related political events in Nashville. He excitedly im-ed me the other day to let me know he had been interviewed by Politico.com. Today, there’s a story in which my big bro is quoted (on page three), along with his business partner, Bill.

WOO HOO! WTG Jason and Bill!

Congratulations Massachusetts and Scott Brown!

You know, if any of us teabaggers had the audacity to say Obama won because he’s hot*, we would be accused of being not only sexist, but racist, because they would tie in being attracted to a man of color with racism**.

Likewise, if someone were to say Martha Coakley should win because she’s pretty, that would be instantly condemmed as sexist and demeaning to women.

It is, however, okay to say Scott Brown is succeeding in his campaign for the Kennedy people’s senate seat because he’s hot and because he posed in a woman’s magazine in 1982. That is neither sexist nor racist.

I’m glad that’s cleared up.

*which I have heard several women, and one gay male friend, say but personally cannot see it myself, as I find the big O completely un-effable, compounded by how unappealing it is to kiss a smoker. Now, Michael Jordan, on the other hand, is a beautiful man. Tiger Woods: not so much.

**Color me a racist: this white woman married a brown Colombian man

Many of those pictures are from tea parties held at Lake Eola here in Orlando. So… I was there, too!

645a:

The line wraps around the building

up the alley behind and back

and up toward the next block of stores

more than 300 people and growing

view from the corner at the front of the B&N

seventh in line, is my neighbor Military Man.

these people are in front of Military Man

George & Sarah wave to a passer by between television interviews

Thirty minutes until they start handing out wrist bands. Obviously I’m not there right now.

My neighbor, Military Man, sent me a message via Facebook around 830p letting me know he was already in line at Barnes & Noble for tomorrow night’s Sarah Palin book signing. He got in line at 7p, a full twenty-four and a half hours before the signing begins. I debated and debated about heading up there to wait in line with him; I have been experiencing a wonderful insomnia spell recently. In the end, after several phone conversations with Military Man, I headed up to purchase my book and hand it off to MM, who is waiting in line for a wrist band, until his wife gets there in the morning to take over standing in line, to get my book signed along with hers. I have very nice neighbors!

The line for wristbands starts here

The front of the line features professional impersonators: Elvis, GWB, and Sarah Palin. GWB and SP say they’ll get all gussied up in the morning.

Military Man is a little disappointed he’s not first in line. He said he has been at the plaza since 1p, keeping an eye on B&N waiting for the line, and the line started to form when he went to grab dinner.

It was a very festive atmosphere at the start of the line.

Fox News arrived at 1045, which is when I left. Here’s the corner of the building looking toward the front of the line.

The line had begun forming around the corner of the building.

I’ll check back with Military Man on my way to work in the morning.

UPDATED @ 614a: Fox news just reported the line count is around 270.

A new tombstone appeared in our yard today. Place your bets on how long before we’re carted away for re-education. Yes, I said the same thing last year with last year’s version of the tombstone. But this year, well, freedom isn’t so assured, is it?
