HuffingtonPost, Washington Post, The New York Times, Chess.com ... more than half of my bookmarks are of American websites. If your country ever gets entangled in some sort of a WW3-worst-case-all-bets-off-scenario, I'd be the first one to know.
Its not up to us to name them. Their mommies and daddies did that long ago.

You read the Huffington Post? That explains the random mention of Tea Party members.
But maybe I'm missing something. What do tea party members and pawns have in common? I like the rook as the ivory tower btw. It's not something most people would have thought of, but it seems very appropriate.

It was just my way of, well, mocking them, I guess. They pride themselves in being independent, not reliant on ANYBODY, but imo they're just pawns in a game of political interests and charades which the majority of them doesn't seem to understand/care about. But don't worry, we have this kind of people over here too.
Well... as someone who self-identified as a tea party member I disagree, but we could argue about these things all day and and end up right where we started. I guess we could just agree to disagree.

Sorry man, didn't mean to offend you!
In our day and age, any yokel can form his opinions about the political scene of any country, and that doesn't exclude me either.

No worries man, I'm not offended!
Drumroll, please! Here somes the most useless and lame thread in the history of chess.com: naming chess pieces! If you could, what names would you give to chess pieces on your board?
I know that a friend of mine often named his pawns. He dubbed them "Jimmy, Jeremy, Johnny, Jeffrey, Jacob, Jaques, Gerard, and Joey, the king's feeble-minded cousin" (who can catch that allusion?).
