It's A Bachmann Tea Party

Minnesota's own Queen of Hearts, Michele Bachman (GOP-MN-6), threw a tea party in Washington, DC...She invited all the mad hatters and cards to join her. Bachmann describes her tea party as "a listening ear to tea parties" 

You can view the guest list up on her website. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the number of mad hatters.

There was some confusion regarding who was and wasn't on the guest list verses who supports the tea party Queen but looks like it's been sort of resolved!

Caucuses are informal groups sanctioned by the House. They vary by size and issue..such as the 'out of Iraq Caucus, the Blue Dogs, the Hispanics Caucus, or the Steel Caucus.

While Congress allocates no money for a caucus, some congressional resources (like postage) may be used to handle the official business of the caucuses.
