Tea Party misses parade

This is the first time in years that the Northern Kentucky Tea Party didn't show up in the Bellevue-Dayton Memorial Day Parade in an attempt to ruin it.

There were political parties and candidates, but the Tea Party itself was nowhere in sight - unless its float was so quiet that I missed it, which it never is. Last year, the Tea Party's presence received such an overwhelmingly negative reception that they probably realized they should lay low.

Also, I saw 2 - count 'em, 2 - people who bubbled.
