William, I am very interested in the truth, which is exactly why I will work tirelessly to make sure that Michele Bachmann is defeated in the next election.

I agree with Stephanie, and that is exactly what I was thinking when I first heard Bachmann’s comments (previously reported on this blog). She is rarely clear with what she says (previously reported on this blog) and often wraps threats or exhortations to commit crimes in babbling rhetoric (previously reported on this blog). That is normal for her, ans as Stephanie notes, it will be good enough to get a lot of the morons who seem to be living in disproportionate numbers i her district to break the law.

As for what I blog about and this being “scienceblogs” and your opinion that there is a mismatch between what Sblings write and what you expect, I find that very annoying so I ma throwing the switch that will cause your web browser to not read any data from this internet domain from now on.

CLick.

Good bye .

Actually, we all know what Bachmann is planning to do. We also know that anyone dumb enough to vote for her is too dumb to get the distinction between only answering some questions and not participating at all. She’ll be counted, but the rabble she rouses won’t.

Yes indeed, if Bachmann gets her way, her own congressional district will vaporize.

It is not that surprising that Keith “Ag. School” Olberman is dishonestly representing Bachmann’s views, but why are you Mr. Laden? You’re from MN, I assume, and you know how to use google, and you know that Bachmann will report the number of people in her household, and that she only objects to some of the questions on the census.

My answer: As with many of the bloggers on scienceblogs, you don’t care about the truth, you care about distorting the truth. You give real scientists a bad name.

I live in Bachmann’s district.

Unfortunately, the district is infested with right-wing “Democrats are evil” types. Not Minnesota nice at all. For the sake of my car, I didn’t even put on an Obama bumper sticker this year because I was afraid of retribution.

Oh, ‘petard’; capitalizing the ‘p’ confused me for a second. I did receive a new truth via divine revelation though:

PETArd: An ignoramus of PETA. (I apologize for the tautology.)

It’s not often you see this kind of consistency. Kudos, Michelle. Or something like that ….

If Bachmann gets another term, then there’s something seriously wrong with the district a few blocks from where you live. She can’t open her mouth without winning an award for stupidity.

Wingnut of the week? I'm opining on (gay marriage vs.) abortion again.
