Minnesota Wins!

We got on another one of those lists of the mostest or the bestest. Let's see, what did we do this time...

Oh. Never mind. It seems that our congressional representative from the Sixth District, Michel Bachmann, has gotten on the list of the Most Embarrassing Re-elected Members of Congress, a list maintained by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew).

Oh, but this is good ... the list is not ranked, but it is Alphabetical! So we get to be on the top of the list:

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA)
Rep. John Murtha (D-PA)
Rep. Laura Richardson (D-CA)
Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

All the details are here.

In these times of economic crisis, war, and uncertainty, it is reassurring to know that our diligent representatives are hard at work in congress to make the country a better place.
John Conyers (D., Michigan) is a liberal Democrat. As head of the Judiciary Committee he has always carried water for the IP crowd. He's at it again. And he isn't alone. When it comes to paying off campaign contributers this is a non-partisant issue:

Holland Township family angry that supermarket won't personalize cake for their son

Good names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.

I am firmly sure that anyone who is so stupid as to try to name their kids that should be forcibly sterilized as to not fuck up any more children.

Maybe, just maybe, when it comes time to redistrict, someone will look at the gerrymandering creeps and say, "Michele Bachmann," and they'll all pause, then nod at each other in momentary accord and do it right this time.

Hey, a girl can dream.
