A Tea Party gathering is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Spokane. But don't expect crumpets.

This is the kind of Tea Party for folks unhappy with some or all aspects of their government. It will feature syndicated radio host Laurie Roth and some local speakers, some of whom will be holding forth on the U.S. Constitution.

Because Thursday is also Constitution Day, and the beginning of Constitution Week. That's because it's the 222 anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.

Rally is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Convention Center and Opera House, a.k.a. the INB Performing Arts Center.
