The Same Old Shitty Brand Of Tea

I guess this was bound to happen:
The South Florida Tea Party — the group that helped Marco Rubio launch his Senate bid and that hosted Donald Trump during his last flirtation with a presidential run — is shedding the words “tea party” as it undergoes a name change.

“We felt for branding reasons that we wanted to differentiate ourselves from certain organizations that have the name ‘tea party’ and we can’t control,” said Everett Wilkinson, leader of the organization that will now be called the National Liberty Federation.
None of this affects me, of course.  In fact, I don't think I've ever used the phrase "Tea Party," because any group stupid enough to initially call themselves "Tea-Baggers" deserves to keep such a name for all eternity.
