You Are Invited To a Different Sort of Tea Party

This is funny. The Kenyan embassy is hosting its own Tea Party next week. No, they won't be running around screaming about tyranny and Marixsm or holding up posters of the President of the United States as Hitler. Apparently, Kenya is the #1 exporter of tea in the world, and this event is simply designed to raise awareness of that fact. From Talking Points Memo:
"The Government of Kenya, the world's #1 tea exporter, cordially invites you to a proper Kenyan Tea Party on Capitol Hill (one without a political agenda). Please join Kenyan Deputy Prime Minister, the Honorable Uhuru Kenyatta, at Kenya's tea tasting event, complete with food pairings and tea leaf readings," the invitation read.

"Of course, according to some other "Tea Party" types out there, it is often said that Kenya's major export is none other than President Barack Obama, who was supposedly born in Kenya, then covertly smuggled into the United States so that a biracial child named Barack Hussein Obama would one day grow up and run for president as part of a grand Marxist conspiracy."
Sounds like fun, and a whole lot more civilized than what has come to define the term "tea party" nowadays.

Is there a joke somewhere in there?

Dave Splash said...

Oh, sorry. I forgot. Unless it involves bashing President Obama, you don't find it funny.

I think this is quite appropriate, because by the time Obama is done America's Gross National Product will rival Kenya's...

Dave Splash said...

I appreciate the attempt at humor.

T. Paine said...

Unfortunately I was being serious this time...

Lisa said...

come on T Paine this is the most competent government we ever had. Dave said so.

Dave Splash said...

Lisa, that is the first sensible thing you've said.

T. Paine said...

Dave really does have a hard time picking up on what is sarcasm and what is humor, doesn't he, Lisa? :)

God bless you, Dave, for your beliefs, sir, despite 95% of them being wrong politically. (And I am not being saracastic here, my friend!)
