WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service says a suspicious package thrown over the fence and onto the White House's North Lawn was not dangerous. Tax protesters threw what appeared to be a box of tea bags toward the White House on Wednesday, prompting officials to lockdown the compound. The Secret Service also used a robot to inspect the package thrown in an apparent act of defiance meant to echo the rebellion of the Boston Tea Party. Demonstrators said they disapproved of government spending since President Barack Obama took office. They organized protests across the country, including outside the White House.

I wouldn't want to get shot throwing tea bags over a fence. It's a meaningless protest if people keep paying taxes.
God is always good!
So, now the White House is a "compound"???????????????

Yes it's been taken over by a cult that worships black Chappaquiddick water dogs.
I'm sure you know that there's a detachment of SS men on the roof equipped with MANPADs (STINGERS) in case any aircraft violate the now fly zone. We would probably be amazed at the places where miniguns can pop out of nowhere on the compound and shoot sizzling metal storms in defense of "The Merken way".
You said it !!!
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

My joy over McCain's defeat, is offset by my disappointment over hObama's victory.
