The term “tea-bagger” is obviously pejorative. Calling them “tea partiers” makes little sense, as the people behind that movement seem to have little interest in engaging in any activity that might involve a party. So what do we call the people who put teabags on their hats to protest budget deficits (that did not upset [...]
