Consumer activism. There is a churlishness in the air. I blame the TeaBaggers.

Whether at the so-called “Happy” hour or the cashiers at the checkout lanes or whomever. I blame the bad mood on the TeaBaggers. Well, I’ve continued my consumer activism. Several months ago I cancelled the local newspaper subscription so as not to see Ruben NAVARRETTE’s face every week. Today, I switched auto insurance because the one I’d been with for more than a half dozen years, a FARM industry (read "gigantic 'farm' subsidies&quot , sent out propaganda soliciting donations so that they could lobby for a slew of TeaBagger policies (not labeled "TeaBagger&quot . They claim to be non-partisan in their support/endorsements of politicians. That is, they support anybody of either party so long as the politicians support TeaBagger talking points.
