Is It Fox News, or Fantasy Island?

Or maybe the Cartoon Network? Because these idiots are so used to trafficking in simplistic, cardboard cut-out stereotypes, they can't resist seeing what happens when they mix and match. Ready for the heroic battle between Good and Evil to take place tomorrow?

As anti-tax protesters organize tea parties across the country on April 15, rumors are swirling that a backlash is brewing.

Some believe ACORN, which has been under scrutiny for accusations of voter fraud, is preparing to crash some of the tea parties. But ACORN says it is only helping to organize dozens of rallies on the same day in support of President Obama's first budget.

"This is the first we've heard of these so-called 'tea parties.' And, frankly, a bunch of small get-togethers by fringe conservative activists dedicated to simply saying 'no' is of little interest to us," said ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring.

He did not say where the pro-Obama rallies would take place, leaving open the possibility that they may clash with some tea parties.

Ah, where would Fox be (along with other cabloid outlets, to be sure) without the delightful construction "Some believe..."? And "leaving open the possibiility"? Wunnerful!

Actually, I don't find any reference to ACORN organizing "dozens of rallies" for tomorrow after skimming their website. Why would they, if their spokesman says he's just learned about the tea baggers? All there is on their action page is a call to contact your senators to support Obama's budget--back on March 19.

But let that not get in the way of a good, solid story. Like, like, what if Superman fought Spiderman, and Spiderman had just a tiny bit of kryptonite in his web-making stuff, but Superman was also wearing lead lined boxer shorts? And then Somalian pirates captured Aunt May, and then George Soros tried to seduce Lois Lane...well, who'd win?
