Nice catch, thanks. I sent this to Andrew Sullivan and Josh Marshall but please feel free to spread the word. It will also be on the homepage tomorrow.One thing - on the YouTube piece, I misspelled "separate" on the Vidal/Buckley blurb.
Thanks,

Thousands of post-partisan <http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123975867505519363.html> citizens who discovered on January 20th that they are very much opposed to federal deficits will be taking to the streets today in what's being billed by its supporters as the most significant anti-tax demonstration since 1773, when that early American flash mob action, the Boston Tea Party, served to raise general awareness of British perfidy in the realm of revenues. But the success of today's tea party circuit in winning hearts and minds may hinge on whether or not the gatherings result in any iconic YouTube videos of the sort that register with the American public at large. Most likely, they won't. Thus it is that we present a gaggle of the lesser-known political clips of yesteryear, tax-free.
