9/12 – The mother of all tea parties
Posted by Bigfoot on September 11th, 2009
Tomorrow, I will be in Washington, DC, attending a huge rally against some of Barry’s policies. By some estimates, several hundred thousand people may show up, some from halfway across the country. By falling on the day after the anniversary of 9/11/01, the 9/12 rally will remind us that we live in the post-9/11 world.
September 12th is known to some people as Jan Sobieski Day, in honor of the Polish king who broke the siege of Vienna by the Turks, on that date in 1683. His troops scavenged the abandoned Turkish camp, and found stores of dark, hard-shelled beans, from which the Turks had brewed a hot beverage. Jeżeli lubisz kawę, dziękuj Polaka. (If you like coffee, thank a Pole.)
On the eighth anniversary of 9/11/01, here are some tributes that I’ve run across:
From The Snooper Report
From Theodore’s World
From America Coast 2 Coast
From Political Pistachio

AOW, yes, I was.
