There's not much out there but what is, is tied to liberal and/or democratic efforts. And that's mostly from blogs, not from media stories. quote:
I found where a couple of tea baggers threw a sandwich in a servers face over a bag tax. Not sure what that is. quote:
According to the Hatchet, a newspaper at a city college named unimaginatively after a U.S. president: Though the rally was a mostly peaceful gathering, two rally attendees got into a heated argument with an employee at the GW Deli over the D.C. bag tax, which ultimately resulted in one of the tea party members throwing a sandwich in the deli employee’s face. Take that, poor college student suffering through a minimum-wage deli job serving Teabaggers their daily bologna! http://wonkette.com/418028/teabagger-beck-rally-goers-accosted-by-d-c-bag-tax-throw-sandwich-in-protest The Hatchet... quote:
About The GW Hatchet The GW Hatchet is an editorially and financially independent student newspaper serving The George Washington University community in downtown Washington, D.C. First published Oct. 5, 1904, it is the second oldest continuously published newspaper in the District, after The Washington Post. The Society of Professional Journalists named The Hatchet the best non-daily student newspaper in the nation in 2003 and 2007. The Hatchet is also a winner of the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award, in 2005 and 2008, and Online Pacemaker, in 2006 and 2008. Multiple Hatchet alumni have won Pulitzer Prizes. The newspaper is produced by Hatchet Publications, Inc., an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It is headquartered in a townhouse at 2140 G St. N.W. in the heart of Foggy Bottom. I dont see any affiliation with it being liberal or democratic. The rest i can find no sources for... no blogs. Every pc has a history... but of course, someone shouldnt have to prove anything he or she says... just make... errr.. remember it as you read it and keep right on going. About the bag tax that many cities are implementing, including my own depending on the store you shop in.... quote:
The District's user fee on plastic and paper bags at stores that sell food and/or alcohol went into effect New Year's Day and is one of the toughest such measures in the country. Lawmakers hope the tax will make the nation's capital more green-friendly and help the environment, with proceeds going to fund the cleanup of the Anacostia River. They estimate it will produce about $3.6 million in revenue in the first year, an amount that might decline as awareness grows and people get used to bringing reusable bags when they go shopping. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/01/AR2010010101673.html Talk about rude tea baggers.
