Recently I’ve seen a few things that were a little strange, and begged the question, is it just me or is this just all kinds of wrong?

It feels like
Everything
Is passin’ me by

Gotta hold on

(I would even go)

Tea Party Protesters + Trains = An “Interesting” Experience

Today (Tax Day) was filled with tea parties across the nation as people protested overspending. Where all of these people were during the overspending of the last administration, I don’t know. A couple of months into Obama’s presidency and they’re just too through? Ummkay. Whatever.
