Coverage from USN&WR. A commenter left this message:
Ms. Marquandt’s characterization of people who are against legalized plunder by the government as “anti-stimulus” is simply anti-factual. If she’s referring to people being against a massive, pork-laden indebting of our grandchildren, she can hardly be referring to a “stimulus”, can she? Given the stock market’s response?
The scope of the industrial nationalizations, the kneecapping of the productive class, the sanctification of the responsibility-free, and the spectacular lack of ethics of the administration’s nominees—well, what more can one say? The Obamas are simply cocktail-partying and conga-lining while America burns. And throwing in a good dis’ of our old pals the Brits while they’re at it. I’m in awe.

That commenter’s message is spot on.
The resistance to the “remaking” of America is deeper than the Democratic apparatchiks realize. The commenter speaks the truth. And, the MSM’s complicity in all of this will prove to be their ruination.
I, too, am in complete awe of the level of ineptitude and arrogance of the Zero administration.
First Nero fiddled, now Zero.
I was reading “The 5000 Year Leap” recommended by Glenn Beck. It quoted from the Federalist Papers, which warned against saddling future generations with debt. I was trying to find the quote when I stumbled on this link. Looks like a great resource. I just wish it was searchable.
Most of us here expected things to worsen when President Obama and his gaggle of liberals took over. However, I never expected our executive and legislative branches to reach the level of a third grade playground at recess. Oops! I apologize to all third graders.
70 pounds .. I think… is a lot of tea!
Good job.
They seem to have every kind of tea imaginable.
Yup. The Obama’s received some very nice gifts from PM Gordon Brown. What did Obama give to PM Brown?
A Box set of DVD Movies…
Yes… you read that correctly.
Please — don’t dunk it (in the bay)! Sip it!!!

I only drink hot tea when I’m sick, but Portsmouth Tea iced tea is going to be my standard drink at home.
Another big corporate sponsor.
Can anybody get a brewery or two to provide refreshments too?
The kids’ old Barney videos?
Hope others will join in with a list of the 25 DVDs. I’ve put the Patriot, Braveheart and Patton at the top – diplomatic efforts to demonstrate how we just love the Brits…
Plan 9 From Outer Space, Shaft, Weekend at Bernie’s…
Hooray for seacoast NH, where my roots are.
I’m ordering something – not sure right now exactly what, but something!
And MO gave Mrs. Brown a couple of toy helicopters from the WH gift shop.
These collectivist maroons are a couple of embarrassing rubes utterly devoid of any class.
Oh, and how about “Rev. Wright’s pick hit raging sermons – The Collection”
Not only are B. Hussein Obama and the rest of the socialists, statists, collectivists, elitists, fascists, etc a national, and likely international, danger;
if it is true that Obama gratuitously insulted the Brits (even though Brown is Labor (Oops!, sorry… Labour) – socialist – Obama and his gang are proving themselves to also be a national and international embarrassment.
It would have been better to have said graciously “Thank you,” and given nothing in return for the moment.
A boxed set of DVDs.
You can’t make that stuff up.
BTW, I’m going to order the rest of the multivolume set of Gilbert’s biography of Churchill.
Michelle, I just went out to their website and I could get VERY poor in a big hurry. What a WONDERFUL selection of teas.
If you do not mind, I will enjoy the tea, then dump the used bags in protest.

If you haven’t read the whole story. He didn’t get them at Best Buy but still… DVDs of ET, Star Wars…? They’ve got to come up with something better than that.
I have to agree, after viewing their site, I would ALMOST feel guilty dumping it but I am truly grateful that they are supporting this protest!
Agreed.
And Flyoverman, yeah, it would be easy to dump some cash at their site. Going to ask my better half which she’d like to try. Thinking one of the iced teas and maybe an Earl Grey.
I gave my brother a box set of DVDs as a groomsmens gift.
He’s an aircraft mechanic.
Do they make a Long Island Iced Tea? I think even Chap would participate in a tea party if that were served.
That vile concoction has not crossed my lips since freshman year in college.
Yeah, that must have been an awkward moment. PM Brown presented them with a pencil holder made from timbers from the HMS Gannet, which was deployed to fight the slave trade; and a framed original commissioning paper for the HMS Resolute.
WHat did he get? DVDs of American movies. Classy.
Come on Chap, hair of the dog you can do it!
I just placed an order for Harvest Apple, Black Vanilla (irony?) Decaf and Coconut(more irony) Rooibos. I told them that I was ordering because of what I read about them on http://www.michellemalkin.com and that I hoped they got a TON or orders from my fellow MM posters. Come on, gang, order some TEA!!!!!!
http://www.portsmouthtea.com
I will order the Avalanche Rooibos tea. I am impressed that a small business in this day and age has the b@lls to publicly support a conservative cause. You would think freedom would not just be a conservative cause though. It is my honor to purchase your tea and I wish you good sales in the future Portsmouth Tea.
I am beginning to think that the word ‘tea’ should become the acronym ‘T.E.A.’

Teach Economic Accountability
Tax Economic Achievement

You can probably do better.
Obama Nation = T.E.A.
Total Economic Abomination
Total Economic Anihilation
Obama sees both the U.S.A and the U.K. as “Empires“, and as the grandson of a Kenyan who was not treated very well by the British Empire, he is very happy to see both the British and American “Empires” brought to their knees.
The good news: My state is not completely in the toilet.
The bad news: The Portsmouth Tea Company will end up on the bHo hit list.
Bill Ayers also references The End of an Empire.
Gads what an embarrassment for this great country…even Brown being the lib he is, England is still one of our strongest allies if not the strongest. Odumbo is a disgrace, he’s sure making hard for the next black that wants to run for the presidency. Is that racist? if so tuff noogies…it’s truthful.

Yes, that is truthful.
Racism didn’t hurt Obama’s campaign. Quite to the contrary, using racism in his favor was a major part of his campaign.
Most of his supporters cared more about the color of his skin than the content of his character. How many of his supporters truly support infanticide? Hopefully not many. But millions of people who do not support infanticide chose to support a candidate who does. Why? Because they cared more about the color of his skin than the content of his character.
Almost a year ago (March 19, 2008) it was clear to me that Obama was using racism in order to form a more Socialist union…
Traveling between this thread and the wagyu beef thread…I scrounge for the best price on used or new books at Amazon.com, addall.com, allbookstores.com, bookfinder.com, chambal.com, etc.
Not surprisingly, a bit of time spent comparison shopping can make a big difference.
Let him drink tea!
Hey, it worked for OJ!
I’m disappointed that Portsmouth Tea Company doesn’t seem to carry any lapsang souchong but they’ll still get my business from now on.
As for the DVDs, anyone want to bet they were region encoded for the US instead of the UK?
LOL!!
Good one!
Rim shot…Ba-doom-thsshh!
T.E.A. = Totally Emasculating America …
Just ordered from Portsmouth Tea company. They look like they have a great selection, thanks Michelle!

Good for them. I’m a lifelong tea drinker but I prefer teabags instead of loose tea. I will see what I can do to steer some business their way tho.
I wonder if anyone said that about Mugabe when he first got into office.

Alas, no gunpowder green tea. I’m still stuck with buying it from The English Tea Company, but given Obama’s slight of Brown, I feel good about it.
I wonder if TETC would donate some wares?
I just ordered some teas from the Portsmouth Tea Company!
Now, i don’t comment much, cause of being on the road so much delivering. It comes to mind, a new party,not Dems or Repubs. but the Tea Party! fits right in with the tea party demonstrations. (missed the Philly One, i’m in upper bucks co.) better the Green or all the rest. Platform—-begins with American fill in the blank. thank you Michelle for coverage,people are picking up on it and the rest of everybody for the idea.
Embarrassing, what hussein did to the Brits, as Hillary did to herself and us as well.
WHO’s running the show? Gotta be peloser.
Insolent narcissists.
America burned while ZERO fiddled.
(12:07 pm, YTZGal- great one,Thx )
If the MSM is in the tank for liberal causes, imagine if small businesses like this tea company supported strong conservative principles, they would do great business with the intelligent, tax paying and discerning minority of people. We should come up with an icon for such businesses to easily identify them. How about “Secured by Freedom”..
Got some Masala Chai and Napoleoan dynamite…
Imagine if Bush gave a visiting head of state some DVD’s the MSM would never let it go.
