    "a tax-funded tea party."

    Make that a Socialist Tax-funded Tea Party.

    I love that yesterday the Guardian wrote about her as part of the "Fresh New Young Republican Firebrands" along with...

    Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin.

    I KNOW! I laughed and laughed.

    Rules - of law, of the Constitution, or of this space/time continuum - are that other party's problem.
    Repubs are too mavericky for such things.

    I salute the brave voters of Minnesota, who fight against the stigma of mental illness by electing Michele Bachmann to power again and again. I salute you, you batshit fuckers!

    @katastic: NO! It's just her district, I swear! The Twin Cities are awesome! Also, let's keep in mind that the state kept Wellstone around as long as it could. He was awesome, and is sorely missed.

    Ah, World Net Daily. My problem with you is threefold:

    1) World Net Daily. I understand what these three words mean individually, but when combined I'm fairly certain it means nothing. I can combine random words that too. Life Science Global. Coffee Hipster Code. Ham Partridge Fauna.

    2) You guys think that you're the press. That okay, it's cute. I have delusions of grandeur too. (For instance, I often wonder what song I would've wowed Hill Valley High with instead of "Johnny B. Goode" had I been in Marty McFly's shoes at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.) But the fact that you suffer from the misconception that the press is the one that calls press conferences is, like, a third grader's sort of confusion. I half-expect to see the headline next week, "World Net Daily announces press conference for President Barrack Obama. Obama tentatively scheduled to attend."

    3) On your own site, you report on the event as though you had no involvement! Which is crazy, since you know that other people are going to cover it and say otherwise. How could you not know people were going to cover it? You called the press there.

    Of course, I could be overlooking your genius here. Only you could pull off something that is simultaneously both a press conference and not a press conference at the same time. Next you'll trick God into creating a boulder he cannot lift.

    Conserva-bimbos all have the same crazy eyes, cakey makeup, and weird stewardess wardrobe. It's like they cloned Kathleen Harris and distributed her through the upper Midwest.

    @BettyCrocker: as long as it brings in the page views they will keep with the formula. Maybe some innovators will come along. This country needs a good looking male "family values"-style politician with a big dong and small brain who fucked around a lot in undergrad.

    Or perhaps a sexy robot who feels ways about "the death tax?"

    @shostakobitch: Paging Mitt Romney, paging Mitt Romney.

    I loved when he was asked last year what his boys were doing for the war effort, and he claimed his 7 boys (or however many his Mormon loins spawned) were right here at home getting MBAs so they could fight the terrorists. They love America so much they're willing to get high paying jobs in the finance industry. I can't help but think 2012 will be an interesting republican primary hopefully with a Romney vs the Thrilla from Wasilla cagefight.

    Those charities don't sound like they would offer her a "defense." I'm guessing they're all about the evils of both sex and contraception.
