Those of you wanting to vote for the best sign at the recent Rally on the Mall tea party can click here.  Voting will begin next week.

Also, if you’re wondering why this event didn’t get any coverage from KFYR (despite being the largest single protest event in state history) one SAB reader emailed to ask and got this response:

We covered the earlier tea party in Bismarck and did not see a reason to cover the same event all over again.  I’m sure there are going to be many “tea parties” in the future and we will not be covering all of them either.  Repeating the same information over and over again is not news.

With that logic, they wouldn’t cover the Republican or Democrat conventions.  Or the state basketball championships.  Or the World Series.  Or the Super Bowl.

Why not just be honest about it?  They didn’t cover the tea parties because they’re a bunch of liberals and they’re too scared to give this movement any attention.

This is called “whistling by the graveyard.”

Again, if you want quality radio in the upper midwest region, why listen to KFYR when AM1100 is available?
