The Real Tea Party

I know that the Tea Party (tm) corporation likes to give the impression that its name is patriotic, harkening back to the Boston Tea Party of our nation's forefathers.  But every time I hear the name, I can' help but think of this Tea Party instead, from Alice in Wonderland.  And these days, more than ever, it's this image that's most especially apt and should be etched in people's consciousness..

The song is written by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston.
