Kentucky Liz, one of our commentariat noted:
Actually, the “mad as hell” scene from the movie Network is circulating like wildfire on facebook. An old college buddy and I were joking around and cooked up a cockamamie idea to have the same screamfest, but when to do it? Tax Day! April 15, noon ET and equivalent times in other time zones. Noon ET–the politicians and financiers more likely to be out for lunch, to witness people pouring into the streets screaming.
Here’s a link to this facebook group/event, please join us, especially Amurricans. Should appeal to the tea party crowd so active nowadays!

It somehow seems fitting to have a good scream on Rape Day…
If you’re going to try to use our lingo, get it right. We’re “Murkans,” we live in “Murka” and we speak Murkan.”
Of course, to many of us Murkin Gun Nuts, April 15th is also Buy A Gun Day.
(Unlike what many believe, incidentally, this was not an event of my design — that would be National Ammo Day, 19th Nov — but I can claim to have played a modest part in BAG Day’s acceptance.)
Why do I have the feeling I’ll have lots to do if I take April 15 off from work?
‘Murka! Fuck yeah!
Hey! My comment made it to a top level post! Wheee!
I’m a Samizdata star!
Kim can attest to my having started Buy A Gun Day in 2003. I’m working a little on the concept over at BuyAGunDay.net (Link) Open to suggestions for improvement.
