Today is the day that millions upon millions of Americans will spill into the streets, follow the throng down to the local street corner, drop an envelope in a box, and file their tax returns. Well, except for those who filed online, I suppose.

Some smaller subset of Americans will also gather to hold what they are calling modern-day tea parties.

I'll refrain from making crass sexual innuendo (I will, seriously.), and I will refrain from pointing out the pseudo-spontaneous nature of these protests.

I'm not going to get into how this is really not a populist movement, but rather something being fed and promoted by the GOP, and the same people who screwed the country for the past eight years. And I won't point out that despite what Republican mouthpieces say, populist organizing isn't new (except maybe to them).
