I bet your government-employed colleagues in the IRS were yucking it up the same way when they started busting balls on the Tea Party guys.
Isn't it hillarious when government employees leverage the power given to them by the barrel of a gun to harass someone they don't agree with? But I'm suuuuure that would never happen in a property assessors office.
My hope among hopes is that someday you guys get to deal with Sara Palin as the secretary of Education, Newt Gingrich as the secretary of health and human services and Rick Perry as the secretary of homeland security. With all the precedents Barry is setting, it will even be fun for an atheist libertarian to watch.
This shoe is going to fit quite well on the other foot.
