A big party going on downtown in the Oilfield Capital of the World. A tea party. I’d never heard of such a thing but when I looked out the window at the crowd my coworkers had to tell me what was going on. Where have I been?
So I had to go check it out at lunch. Lots of signs, lots of nerdy looking people with cameras. A helicopter showed up. The photographers went crazy. I refused to join the crowd wasting electrons on a whirlybird a 1000 feet in the air. So I took a picture of this guy taking a picture. He has a lot better camera than I do. The speaker told everybody to wave at the helicopter, and they did!! Who’d have thought a bunch of free thinkers could be led so easily. Kind of worries me, how about you, you worried?
I don’t know what everybody is all bent out of shape about but the speaker kept on talking about taking back our nation, we are a nation of Christians…, yadayadayada badababadababa blah blah blah… No disrespect intended. I hate all political speeches. But I love politics, go figure. I was more into people watching. Then I switched to signs.
Its like everybody was just milling around waiting for something to happen. A couple coworkers came by and chatted. While we were talking every once in a while the crowd would cheer and clap and my friends would clap also. I asked them “Why you clapping. What did the guy say.” They said, “We didn’t hear him, we are justing supporting him.” I asked “Who is he?” They didn’t know. I guess I don’t get it.
I got bored. Time to get a hamburger!
I’ve been hearing a lot about this today. Didn’t think about Tulsa participating?!
i’m glad you hate political speeches. they’re all written by PR people. i know. i usd to write them. hahahaha. this says nothing of the speeches i’ve written for military generals.
I heard about this. I’ll keep my comments to my self on what I thought of these peoples little tea party. Hope your hamburger was good. =)
Well, you little scrooge! LOL!
But, I love the pictures!
It’s a way to protest the new taxes we will be having.

BTW, I organized that rally, and also gave a “political speech”. Mine, however, was not written by any professional speech writer, It was excerpted from my own writings(I blog, but poorly), some help from my wife, and a list of ideals sent to me by a lady in Hampton Roads, Virginia who was asking me for ideas. So, not ALL of the speeches were canned.
