I'm well enough to do stuff that doesn't require any creative thought- like, for example, catch up on paperwork and webstore listing.
And I'm not fond of the tea party people- not because I like debt, but because:
* For 2009 and 2010, Obama actually cut taxes.
* For 2011 and onward, Obama proposes to keep income tax rates at current levels for all except the top 5% of Americans. The only tax hike for the common man in sight is the increase in energy costs associated with his cap and trade system to limit carbon emissions.
* The bulk of the protesters aren't so much anti-debt or anti-spending as they are anti-Obama and anti-Democrat. There's a high concentration of far-right loons calling for secession and/or armed revolt against the US government, racists demanding that Obama prove his citizenship (again), and those who want to end all taxation and destroy the government completely (except for the parts needed to enforce anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc. laws they want enforced).
Huffington Post has selected some of the more outrageous signs here:

David Weigel also found some appalling signs at the protest he covered here:

... and, after reviewing those, I need to lie down again.
