On September 12, 2009, I grabbed my MiniDV camera and moseyed on over to the Tea Party protest in West Los Angeles to chat with some super-charged “Astroturf.” I spoke with numerous varieties from a vast spectrum of turfdom including the ever-vivacious, Evan Sayet polypropylene turf with advanced Anti-Intellectual Dishonesty Guard™, and the high-performance, all-weather Sonja Schmidt turf.
Present were swatches from every race, creed, color, age, and political and socio-economic background. Conspicuously absent were members of the mainstream media who seem determined to continue treading a poison ivy laden path towards irrelevance.
