Michele Bachmann: too crazy even for the wingier nuts.
Posts
As much as I'd like to feed this pun competition further, we should get back to the actual topic, which I believe is how crazy the rye-ght wing is. So, let us put these puns in the pasta.
Now, the crazy train is well out of the station, it's a brand new campaign season and the last before the census shuffle. And if the Minnesota legislature has the option, they'd probably like to do something with the district boundaries besides eliminating Bachmann's district.
Also; nutbar constituencies elect nutbar officials. It's one of the less pleasant aspects of representative democracy, I'm afraid.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Well, Dennis Kucinich has been in Congress since 1996, which is about as close to a Bizarro Michelle Bachman as I can think of.
Only, you know, I agree with him on more things, so the crazy burns less.
In other news, I went to a Subway in Beijing for a meatball sub, and I figured I'd order a little tomato sauce on top of that. I figured, with the quality of service I'm used to in Hangzhou, how could things go wrong in Beijing?
That "tomato sauce" was ketchup.
She's pretty clearly legitimately crazy.

Dennis Kucinich.
No. Sally Kern is fucking crazy.
See the thing is this: Coulter, Bachman and this Sally Kern act so crazy we tend to have the reaction that they are just pretending to sell books. No one could be that whackjob. But the problem with that is in order to be playing for booksales/votes, there has to be thousands of people that crazy.
There's a pretty good chance she was right. The recruiter will lie to you, or at least deceive you, into thinking you can choose your billet. You can't. Now its possible that as an Enlisted Musician that the situation is different since that's such a specialty field, I don't know. But I do know they lie and tell every kid that comes in that they can work in the field they want.

Yeah, a recruiter told me I could play as an Enlisted Musician after I told him I play piano.
Not sure how you march with one of those.
Ok... that's.....
wow

Recruiters will tell you anything to get you to join. It is is not in writing, and signed as part of your enlistment it will not happen. If it is in writing and signed, the needs of the service can still over rule it.
An FYI for people
Billet=Where you are stationed, and what your exact job is at that station... you will never get to pick this while enlisting
Rate= What you job is, mine was ET (Electronics Technician)... you will get some say in this, but the needs of the service will always come first.
On a side note, I enlisted in the Coast Guard, had a guaranteed "A" school (A school is where you learn your rate) and had no problems getting what I was promised. But know this, if you enlist your wishes no longer count.
Oh there were hints of crazy before that. She introduced the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act" in March 2008... I'm not kidding. Just read her wikipedia page, she's all kinds of crazy. I especially liked the part where her church apparently believes the pope is the antichrist.
Nah.
There was that one lady who said we should stop offering free lunches in school because "hunger is a motivator".
Who said it and where are they from? I mean is their idea, "We should starve our children, and teach them that food is earned and worked for!" And free lunches in school? All my schools we had to pay a couple bucks. 40 cents for milk. 50 if it was chocolate!
Please. He's not crazy AND he has a ridiculously hot wife.

Which has some small sliver of merit as a thought experiment, but falls down and shits itself when you realize that she's talking about starving kids to encourage child labor.

Cynthia Davis, state rep and the chairwoman for the Missouri House Special Standing Committee on Children and Families.
Generally I don't give a fig about state politics from states not ending in -ew York, but this is a special 'HOLY SHIT' level of crazy.

This is why Ethiopia and Mozambique are such industrial powerhouses today.
If he touches himself, he'll explode in a burst of pure energy.
This is why Catholicism forbids masturbation.
Yeah, I was thinking this and I was hoping somebody with more direct experience with the military would say something.
Regarding Bachmann, I know she's crazy and all, but I really wish the incandescent ban didn't go through. I hate CFLs with a fiery passion.

Yep, and once they've been out for a while, the price of CDs will drop too, right?

Yeah, I'm confused by that comment. Are you saying that the price of CDs didn't go down? Maybe not, but didn't CD players and DVD players used to cost hundreds of dollars each? Now you can't heave a brick in WalMart without hitting half a dozen $8 CD players and $25 DVD players.
Cynthia McKinney - 9/11 truther who also claimed the government executed 50 people and buried them in a Louisiana swamp during Katrina.
Also, Jim Traficant tried to act crazy in anticipation of an insanity defense similar to Genovese don Vincent "The Chin" Gigante.
Like a lion kills an antelope
It's like she misses the point that people under 18 aren't supposed to have to rely on themselves to feed themselves.
Edit - Oh great, ToTP.
I recognize that I have a niche issue, but I would have rather have seen a tax on incandescents than an outright ban. Or at the very least, a truth-in-labeling law to go with it so light bulb manufacturers can't use phrases "full-spectrum" or "artificial daylight" without evidence to back it up.
I also think it's a little ironic that the reason incandescent light bulbs are so much worse for the environment is because we still burn fossil fuels for roughly half of our power grid in the US... so what do we do, pass a law that says we have to start phasing in clean power? Nah, just pass a law banning household incandescents. Go go federal government.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Traficant was a theatrically corrupt idiot who, as you'll notice, is no longer in office.
On the other side of the aisle we've got "Global Warming is a money-grab by environmentalists" Inhofe, "Lets reinstate HUAC" Bachmann, "Please change my diaper mommy" Vitter, etc. All of which look to have fairly easy relection runs.

That's a pretty common belief amongst Protestants.
Kucinich is just kinda... quirky. I find him immensely entertaining.
He's not 100% nuts, but he's definitely crazier than the average bear.
McKinney is a fucking space cadet... but not being in Congress anymore, I suppose she doesn't count.
