According to the Washington Post, tea baggers are gearing up to make everyone's life miserable. Like we haven't had enough misery in 2009, we're going from the deep recession of this year to the deep depression of knowing that they're raising money and planning political mayhem.

FreedomWorks, an advocacy group that helped organize many major tea party protests, is set to announce plans this month to raise millions of dollars through a reorganized PAC targeting its 500,000 registered members, said Matt Kibbe, the group's president. Chaired by former House majority leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), the group says its fundraising effort will be modeled on the Internet financing juggernaut created by Barack Obama in 2008.
"We're looking at the potential of raising small checks from a vast number of donors, just as Obama did," Kibbe said. "We've been studying everything about the Obama primary strategy, and I happen to think the tea party movement could make even the Obama grass-roots machine look obsolete." ... WaPo
Think we'll be lucky enough to have that increasingly well-known community organizer as president one of these days. Dick Armey, that is. Oh, joy.
