In Soviet Russia, joke laughs at *you*

[cyrano]

A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier and says,"look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."

What a joke!!! Could you explain what exactly "the Tea Party" means?

I would be happy to!
In this country, in the past few years, a political movement has sprung up--people who worry that the right wing of the political spectrum just isn't right wing enough for them. Their official policy focuses largely on reducing the size and expenditures of government, although there are some who feel that they will believe anything that Fox news tells them to.

So the joke is about your country, isn't it? Could I quote the title of your post to my Russian friends?

Of course! I should say, however, that the format is stolen from a comedian named Yakov Smirnoff.
