Crowd estimates have put attendance as high as 80 people for Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally in Washington, D.C., this past weekend. Of those 80 people, 78.4 of them were white. It’s obviously because Glenn Beck followers hate black people almost as much as they hate the gays.

The Washington Post claims an overwhelmingly white crowd. The Huffington Post says, “The rally drew white people like grilled cheese to white bread.” Salon referenced the overwhelmingly white crowd of thousands having to strain to hear Beck because they couldn’t get in range of the massive speakers. Interesting that they couldn’t get closer to the speakers in the sparse crowd.

In other news, elementary schools across the nation welcomed back thousands of people this week, the overwhelming majority of whom were children.

Some things are just not newsworthy. It’s not exactly news that the majority of the Restoring Honor attendees were white, because the majority of Americans are white. Besides that, I fail to see what the skin color of the participants has to do with the price of loans from China.

Yet the mainstream and liberal media delight in reporting to us that Glenn Beck supporters are, more often than not, white. Why is this news? They might as well report that some house in Oklahoma didn’t burn down today or Paris Hilton is kind of slutty. Common, everyday facts and occurrences don’t deserve a headline.

This just in! Being predominately attended by white people, the Glenn Beck rally was an accurate racial representation of United States citizens. No wonder MSNBC’s ratings are so low.

If reporters and commentators want to report on rallies and race, I’d suggest looking into Al Sharpton’sReclaim the Dream march. Held across town from the Beck rally, Sharpton’s event was also overly monochromatic. Here’s a potential headline: Sharpton Harps on Identity Politics to a Predominately Black Crowd.

And they say Glenn Beck is the racist.

Despite what Liberals will have you believe, this right-wing activist, writer, and podcaster is not raking in the dough. I don’t even make enough money to pay for childcare, which means that this article is being written while two little girls climb me like blonde mountain goats.

I’ve been involved in tea parties; I’ve handed out fliers, I’ve held signs, and I’ve even spoken at them. I’m still waiting for that check from the supposedly well-funded tea party leaders.

I’ll let you in on a secret: There is no “leader” of the tea party movement. Tea parties were born out of the frustration felt by everyday Americans, who simply didn’t want to see their hard-earned dollars go to cocaine-snorting monkeys, let alone to pay for other people’s health insurance.

True tea parties — community protests — are local groups of people coming together in public places to peacefully show their displeasure over how our elected and appointed officials are representing us. What a gorgeous American display of first amendment rights.Hillary Clinton said it best when she threw her support behind citizens that dared to protest their government:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic and we should stand up and say, ‘We are America and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!’”

So I get irritated when The New Yorker runs a piece on the Koch brothers titled “Covert Operations: The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama.”

I get even more irritated when The Huffington Post links to the article with the headline: Charles Koch & David Koch, Billionaire Brothers, Bankroll Tea Party.

I hate to break it to the liberal rags, but no one is waging a war on Obama, and no one is bankrolling the tea party. Opposing someone’s policies and doing your best to block them does not amount to war, and just because some rich guys support the same cause as a grassroots movement, it doesn’t mean they’re bankrolling it.

If these uppity liberal journalists continue to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the rapid wave of conservatism overtaking the country is bankrolled by a couple of billionaires, I’d encourage them to look up George Soros.

After all, only Tila Tequila can have it both ways.

From The Hill:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday acknowledged the “anti-incumbent mood” that’s swept through U.S. politics.

“There’s no question there is, at this moment, an anti-incumbent mood,” the Speaker said at her weekly press conference.

That’s quite a rationalization, Ms. Pelosi. Let me set you straight, because you obviously haven’t been listening to a single word that Americans have been saying.

We are not anti-incumbent. We like Coburn, Thune, DeMint, Bachmann, Smith, and many others, and want them to continue representing us in D.C.

What we don’t like is the attitude that you know better than us. We don’t like you sticking your bony fingers into our pockets so that you may be perceived as generous. We don’t like you robbing our children so that you and your cronies can live the life of Riley while telling us that we’re the greedy selfish ones. We don’t like you voting for legislation that stifles growth and suffocates business.

In other words, Ms. Pelosi, we don’t like you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go contribute a few bucks to John Dennis, because you’re one incumbent that we’d like to see gone.

Jenny talks about the new immigrant law in Arizona, Ned Ryun of American Majority joins to share the low-down on Post Party Summits, conservative chick chat with Brittany Cohan, and cocktails with Mike G.

Last week I spoke at a tea party. Maybe you heard about it. Or saw me on zee teevee. It was very cool. The reporter that interviewed me, Vikki Vargas, was very nice, and even pat my back a little when I had to sit down as waves of nervous nausea overtook me. Or maybe it was the lack of sleep and food that caused the tummy rumbles. Maybe all of the above.

But I digress.

Vikki and I talked off camera for a while, her asking questions, me answering, and her jotting down notes in a cute little pad. I need a cute little pad to carry around so that I can jot down notes when I ask people questions and they actually respond. Maybe I’ll fool them into thinking I know what I’m doing. Because Ms. Vargas was pro-fesh-in-all to a T. She was awesome.

Again, I digress.

One of the reasons that she wanted to interview me was because I’m a young, blonde, California female that happens to be a conservative. Apparently I’m an anomaly. To me, it just makes sense. I’m a rebel with a cause, what can I say? Through one line of questioning, I mean conversation, we got to talking about feminism. I mentioned Leslie Sanchez, an awesomely amazing woman that wrote a book about feminism in politics, and whom I was able to interview once upon a time for The Smart Girl Report.

We were interrupted briefly by the camera girl for some instructions on angles or vantage points or something else technically related, and then by someone that wanted to say hi, and then by my need to put a brownie into my nervous mouth and my subsequent need to wash down the brownie with half a bottle of water because said nervous mouth was drier than rice cakes… well, you get the picture.

Vikki and I finally got back to our chat.

“So how would you describe yourself?” She asked me.

Hmmm… that’s a difficult question. Sure, I’m a crusader for truth, but I didn’t want to give a cheesy answer. A mom? I am a mom, and I’d walk through fire for my kids (heck, I do it metaphorically everyday just by virtue of being an outspoken conservative female fighting for their future), but that doesn’t define me. Am I domestic? Sure. I cook & clean. But’s what I do, not what I am. Wowza, I was taking waaaay too long to answer the question.

So I finally spit something out.

“I guess…I would describe myself as happy.”

Yup, that pretty much fit the bill. I’m sassy and smart-mouthed for sure, but generally speaking, I’m a make lemonade out of lemons kinda girl. Ok, I’m a make margaritas out of limes kinda girl, but let’s not split hairs.

“Uh, I meant would you describe yourself as a feminist…”

D’oh!

A new contest, the tea parties and extremism, Smart Girl updates, and cocktails with Mike G.

Some chick named Jenny from California.

Oh yeah, that’s me!

PS-I was so nervous I almost hurled on the podium. Thankfully I didn’t. The people in the front row were very grateful.

In less than two days, I’ll be speaking at a Tax Day Tea Party in Southern California. I haven’t publicly spoken to a live audience since my high school graduation. Ten years ago. Ok, maybe on my wedding day, but really, I was nervous for other reasons that day (wink, wink).

So now I’m nervous. I’m downright skeered.

Or at least I was until I started reading about the Tea Party Crashers-a group of people attempting to infiltrate tea party rallies in order to make us look stupid. News flash: If tea party rallies are stupid groups of racist idiots, lefty liberals don’t need to show up and pretend to be what they claim we are in the first place. They’d just need to bring a video camera, not crash the tea parties.

In fact, if someone has video footage of Representative John Lewis being called a “n***r” as he made his way into a meeting on health care during the push for the final vote, Andrew Breitbart will write you a check for 100 big ones. 100 big Ks, that is. Yup. $100,000 is all yours, and all you have to do is come up with some footage of John Lewis being called a derogatory name by a tea party protestor, as Lewis claims happened fifteen times.

So weird about the lack of evidence, witnesses, or any shred of viability.

So why does the Crasher story make me less nervous? Because now I’m more ticked at these people trying to scare me into silence. I’m done being quiet. I have a right to my voice, and I’m not afraid to use it (not afraid, but still slightly nervous). If people don’t like what I have to say… well then it’s their right not to listen. Not to call me a homophobic racist or put words into my fellow protester’s mouths.

Not cool, people. Not cool.

If you’re in Orange County this Thursday, please come by and say hi; I’d love to meet you. And please try not to stare at my shaky hands or sweaty armpits.

Thanks a bazillion!

I seriously think the media is punking us. Here are some of today’s news stories:

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) is worried that the tiny island nation of Guam is going to tip over into the sea if the population becomes too dense.

In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.

“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” Johnson said. Willard paused and replied, “We don’t anticipate that.”

The President of the United States is selling t-shirts, which is sort of weird on it’s own, but I could totally see if it were to raise money for Haiti or something. The money’s not going to Haiti though. It’s going to Barack Obama. Oh yeah, the shirts say “BFD” in big bold letters. Yup. Ladies and gents, the leaders of the free world are selling t-shirts that glamorize swearing. To me, that’s a Big F***ing Deal.

Meredith Vierra tried to stretch a story so far that I think she may have pulled a hamstring. On today’s Today show, she asked Senator Jim DeMint if he would condemn the atrocious language of the tea partiers that want to burn Nancy Pelosi at the stake. Huh? Ok, here’s the thinking. Someone at a tea party waved a broom at Ms. Pelosi and said, “Sweep the bums out of Washington!” So obviously he’s calling Nancy Pelosi a witch. And witches must be burned at the stake.

A woman got evicted from her apartment over some peeps.

The Enron scandal has been made into a Broadway musical.

Ronald McDonald has been called upon to retire, because “he is no friend to our children our their health.”

I don’t know about you, but I keep hoping to see Ashton Kutcher. Because if all the above stories are accurate, then we’ve got bigger problems than being punked.

Guess who’s speaking at a tea party this April 15th?

If you’re in Orange County, come celebrate America with us, and get fired up to keep fighting against the transformation of the greatest country on the planet.
