Here’s what I put on my car. I guess it’s obvious enough, but I don’t recall having seen any such thing. Maybe I can start a trend. But, considering the enlightenment of my region, I’m more likely to get torched.
This notion made me wonder what else one can do with teabags. Hey, ladies, how about you start wearing teabags as earrings? I Googled and found that there really are earrings with dangling teabag charms. (Here’s one example.) 
But it seems to me this thing should be done crudely, with a real teabag. A homegrown effort would express the true grassroots nature of the movement. Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if you asked your kids to make teabag earrings for the school arts and crafts session?
For really ambitious people, there’s no limit to what you can do with teabag fashions…
This is a great speech from Virginia Thomas (Justice Thomas’ wife) in Atlanta during the tax day tea party. She makes a few of good points. DC is afraid of this movement and we don’t want a government to control us from cradle to grave- we want freedom from government and its government that is responsible to ensure and protect that freedom. The government is failing their duties and responsibilities under our Constitution!! European socialist systems are an assault and are counter to our Constitution and our Rights! We don’t want these loser European socialist systems!!
Here’s the speech:

i have nothing to add except i love tea. my maternal grandfather had 4pm traditional tea everyday. tea is much more working class in the uk, really the equivalent socially of the dunkin donuts regular with 2 sugars here.
that and this could be the official ‘coffee party’ outfit. i took this many years ago at gay pride in nyc. if you grew up in a latino family or lived in a latino neighborhood you know the affordable goodness of the cafe bustelo. this might not be work safe if you’re offended by fake comedy breasts à la ‘black adder’ or men dressed up as cans of cheap coffee …

This is a great idea! Nice going, Maynard. This is going viral!
I was idly wondering what I might say if I ever wanted to offer an innocent explanation for my teabag. I can imagine this might be necessary in some hostile environments, such as a school or workplace, where teabags will soon be banned as provocative and offensive. This is what comes to mind: I’d say I’m asthmatic and the teabag is for medical emergencies. If I have an attack, my doctor tells me to place the teabag under my tongue. This will generate an instant subliminal infusion of caffeine directly into my bloodstream, spiking my metabolism and reopening my breathing passageways. I made this up, so I’m assuming its complete nonsense. Then again, maybe it’s a brilliant idea and I should get a Nobel prize.
