A Man, A Plan, A Plain Panel – Anal Pain!
By Mitch Berg
Ryan Rhodes, who usually focuses his blog on Fail and AIDS, turns his gimlet eye to politics. He analyzes the Tea party…
The TEA in Tea Party stands for “Taxed Enough Already,” which is punchy enough, I guess, but it strikes me as somehow, I don’t know, unconvincing, and definitely not in the least bit funny. If I were to try and organize a national political movement–which I totally could, believe me–I’d want to label it with an acronym everyone would want to rally around immediately.
…and creates a movement whose time may yet come:
To that end I, Ryan Rhodes, am hereby forming the Society Against an Unjust System Advancing Government Excess. This SAUSAGE Party is guaranteed to catch on nationally, and it will be open to everyone, although I suspect there will probably be more men than women. The message of the SAUSAGE Party is similar in scope to that of the Tea Party, but it’s not vulnerable to the same “tea bagger” taunts and similar such juvenile verbal and literary attacks.
So, I decree: Forward, my fellow SAUSAGE Partiers! Together, we can take all those juicy House and Senate seats and put the meat back in Congress! Oh, and Emmer and Demmer, you’re welcome to join us.
It’s not the wurst idea I’ve seen this season.

Oh, Mitch, that was pretty punny!
But, I agree with you. That organization is worthy of consideration.

The Sausage party would be a great compliment to my new organization:
People Acting Naturally in Concert As Kermit Expects
Now if we can only find a good acronym for syrup…

The dems are bringing in Jesse to counter the angry, irrational teapartiers

The words “SAUSAGE” and “Anal” should NEVER appear in the same blog post.
