Report From Omaha
I grew up in Omaha and my mom still lives there. So this report from Omaha about a Tea Party there inspired me to write. The big traffic problems in Southwest Omaha Thursday night could be blamed on one thing: a political rally. Some people had to park more than a mile away from the event. It's exactly what Tea Party organizers were hoping for.You can watch a video report of the rally at the link. It is telling that the organizers expected hundreds and instead got thousands. Also interesting is the fact that unemployment in the Omaha area is running well below the national average. I guess it has something to do with the region being a food producing area. It is not extremely profitable but people always need to eat. I guess that is why my grandparents went into the grocery business. When I was growing up in the grocery business from time to time we used to get supplies from Table Supply Meat Company which later turned into Omaha Steaks. My mom sent me a Care package from them a while back. Yum. Thanks mom. Cross Posted at Power and Control Welcome Instapundit readers. This was the Care package my mom sent me: Omaha Steaks Gourmet Variety Packs. We used this seasoning on the steaks: Omaha Steaks Seasonings. A real flavor enhancer. posted by Simon on 04.03.10 at 04:29 AM

Ernie G · April 3, 2010 11:01 AM Actually, the media, seeing thousands, will report zeros. When propaganda fails, act as if events don't exist. Lech Walesa got airbrushed out when he came to Chicago and backed the Teaparty candidate. I could go on... ahem · April 3, 2010 11:23 AM I AM ANGRY! At who: I don't know, yet. About what? ABOUT WHAT!!!?? This rally took place at Zorinsky Lake. The rally must have been at about 156th and F Streets. I live at about 225th and F! A year or two back I could have WALKED the 50 blocks. And I found about it this morn in the Omaha Weird Harold, or all places. Larry Sheldon · April 3, 2010 11:23 AM I joined the Northern Illinois Patriots tes party chapter last week. They had a meetup in Gurnee last Thursday night, but I had work. TallDave · April 3, 2010 07:52 PM Heh, good one Ernie. TallDave · April 3, 2010 07:52 PM Post a comment
