There is that great new grade from Canada. Below an F for cheaters but we could include those who seem to have fallen on their heads. They All get the F-D.
This at least is one thing we can import from Canada.

Bachman is crazy on a certifiable level. I have a theory about the Bachmans and Palins of the world. They are encouraged to flourish by the rich old white men of the conservative movement because:
1) These women form a distracting front line, a "curtain" if you will behind which the white wizards work their inside magic
2) Any woman who is willing to spout the most rabidly vile lies while wearing a tight skirt is de facto HOT. See: Coulter, Malkin, Hasselbeck
3) These men are all married to the helmet-haired conservative women and are thus spectacularly horny and adulterous to begin with.

The women do it because:
1) They are not wh*res, but the ARE fame-wh*res
2) They really are empty shells
3) They want power and these men are facilitating it
4) They are nominally hot but deeply stupid and/or religiously brainwashed, and will say anything they are told if it moves them forward.
That's my theory -- anyone have a better one?

Format of post, incoherent by any standard.

Rep. Michele Bachmann makes Sarah Palin look like a fountain of commonsense.

Apparently I'm the first to comment. Yes, more lunacy than usual this week.

There, a pretty innocent, non-controversial post. Now will it take 12-18 hours to appear like everything that I post seems to do lately?
