The aftertaste of tea (parties)

In all the coverage or the dearth of coverage on the tax protests yesterday, did you notice what was absent? The crime. Had the tax protesters been violent in the least, such an event would be headline news. If one idiot in one location had committed some atrocity, he would have become the tea party poster boy. No such conduct.

I can't imagine something like this happening across Europe without cars ablaze or storefronts shattered. And in continuing the European theme, if American liberals launched nationwide protests would there have been near the civility? I don't think so.
