Last month, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) became the first woman to win an influential Iowa Republican straw poll — a victory that would have been impossible before the many decades of feminist activism that proceeded Bachmann’s entrance onto the national scene. Yet, at a Tea Party event with the conservative Eagle Forum last July, Bachmann lauded Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly, who spent nearly her entire career fighting to make it impossible for women to participate equally in American society:

Simi Valley, California - The West Coast installment of the Republican presidential debates will open with an elaborate Hollywood musical production number, featuring all eight candidates.
The unusual format was developed by NBC News, which is airing as well as sponsoring the event.
“These debates hardly move the needle on the ratings meter,” a network spokesman said. “So we decided to throw a little ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ vibe into the mix.”
All eight candidates who are scheduled to participate in the debate will be required to strut their stuff in the song and dance number.
“Singing in the Rain” from the musical with the same name has been chosen as the opening song. Each candidate will be dressed in a trench coat and fedora, handed an umbrella, and thrust into the Gene Kelly role.
“Think of it, eight Gene Kellys slipping and sliding around the stage,” the spokesman said. “America is in for a memorable moment in its political history.”
The participants will not be required to sing, but rather will lip-synch to the Gene Kelly version of the song.
“We want to see how well they react when someone puts words in their mouths,” said Bucky Wallenberg, Executive Director of the Special-Interest Group To Promote Special Interest Groups. “That talent is very important to us.”
The candidates’ dancing abilities apparently will be scrutinized as well. “This is a good test of how well they stay in line,” noted a Republican Party spokesperson.
The Gene Kelly Estate vehemently protested against the use of the song and the persona of Gene Kelly in a written statement: “Mr. Kelly was a master of the kick turn, but this will have him spinning in his grave.”Simi Valley, California - The West Coast installment of the Republican presidential... more

The nation is sleeping through the wrong American Dream, and needs only to wake up to avoid the nightmarish problems it is facing.
"If you don't think you're dreaming, examine the evidence that proves otherwise," said Kilgore Trout, chief researcher of the American Dream Review Panel. "For Instance, do you seriously believe that in less than a decade America has gone from being the most powerful nation on earth to behaving like your deadbeat Uncle Charlie?"The nation is sleeping through the wrong American Dream, and needs only to wake up to... more

New York -- Almost a quarter of the American population has shifted its views on the existence of hurricanes, according to a Harris poll conducted in the aftermath of hurricane Irene.
The 24% rise brings the total of "hurricane believers" to over 312 million US citizens.
The number of Americans who call themselves "hurricane deniers," meanwhile, has dwindled to three. They are:
-- A 36-year-old woman who lives in Death Valley, California and has been blinded by the light.
-- A 24-year-old Brooklyn Heights atheist who doesn't believe in anything.
-- And Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) who believes we should get out of Vietnam.
Among those who shifted their views and now believe in the existence of hurricanes is Sheila Watson, 42, formerly of Hilton Head, South Carolina.
"Irene converted my house into a fishing trawler," she said. "The house was already underwater, according to my mortgage banker. Now it's a moneymaker, all thanks to the miracle of the hurricane."
Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann was also among the converts. "Now that I believe in them, I'm going to make hurricanes illegal, just like we did with marijuana and other dangerous drugs," she said.
"We'll see how hard these darn things blow after serving some hard time."
Former Vice President Al Gore, now an environmental opportunist, noted that hurricanes are gaining popularity because they have cute names.
"For instance, when I started calling my ex-wife 'Tipper,' I found that I needed fewer therapeutic massages," Gore said. "Makes me think of the days Tipper and I were battling that freaky Zappa guy. I'm going to personally make sure they never name a hurricane after him."New York -- Almost a quarter of the American population has shifted its views on the... more

Michele Bachmann certainly knows how to get under the skin of people. Many have criticisms of Bachmann because of her many gaffes, denial of factual events whether it is about the Founding Fathers and slavery or scientific facts about evolution or Global Warming. Well, a new video has come out where Bachmann made a campaign stop. During the speech, which was nothing more than a sermon you would hear on Sunday talking about how great Jesus is, she said something that really makes you look and listen twice.
No matter your faith or belief system, everyone has the right to talk about their faith to a group of people. The 1st amendment of the constitution grants us the right to believe or not believe in any religion as we see fit. Even as an elected official, as long as those religious beliefs don’t effect how you govern, it shouldn’t be a problem. However, as Bachmann claims to be such a great “Christian”, she sure doesn’t act very Christ-like. With her history of bigotry towards gays, Muslims and anyone who doesn’t believe exactly like she does, it is a hard argument to make that she is a good follower of Christ’s message. Whether you are a Christian or not, the original message of Jesus is a solid one. It’s a message that many people should follow, whether you are the most religious person in town or the staunchest atheist. A message of compassion, love and respect for people like and not like yourself..
When Bachmann stepped to the microphone she shouted out, “Who likes white people!?” With the racist tone she has taken in the past, this comment all but cements her stance on being a class A Tea Party bigot. Her followers make the majority of moderate Christians and other religious people look horrible. Most religious people mean well whether you agree or disagree with them. It is people like Bachmann, the Tea Party and the right-wing conservatives who have taken over the Republican Party that make those that mean well, just look dangerous. I’m sure if Jesus was around today, he would have his head in his hands, crying in shame.

Culver City, California - The three leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination faced off in a special “primary knowledge” edition of the popular quiz show Jeopardy! recently to “show America what we know.”
Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry agreed to participate, they stated in a joint statement, because “the media is making us look like a bunch of dummies. Alex Trebek is going to make us look like a bunch of smarties.”
Their appearance proved to be an historic one, for an unexpected reason: the three presidential contestants failed to deliver a single correct response over the course of the entire half-hour program. It is the first “no-hitter” in the four decade history of Jeopardy!

How radical is Rep. Michele Bachmann? The Minnesota Republican claimed Thursday that she went to work for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), after graduating with a degree in tax law, because it was part of a secret plan to take them down.
“I went to work in that system because the first rule of war is ‘know your enemy,’” she said Thursday in South Carolina. “So I went to the inside to learn how they work because I wanted to beat them.”
Bachmann has taken some heat in recent days from supporters of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), who’ve criticized her for being a tax collection attorney for the IRS before she came to politics.
There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that her latest excuse is true, but she has said repeatedly that her experience in the IRS helped form her views favoring a simplification of the tax code.

A sixth teen in Minnesota has filed a lawsuit against Anoka-Hennepin School District alleging that school staff members did not do enough to prevent or cease the bullying she endured because she is gay.
In the lawsuit, an unnamed lesbian student alleges that she was called slurs (such as "faggot" and "dyke") and punched in the stomach after she began attending Jackson Middle School in September 2010. The student says she reported the harassment to teachers and administrators, but they did nothing to protect her.
The suit is a companion to an earlier case filed on July 21 on behalf of five current and former students by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SVLC) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR). In that suit, the plaintiffs allege that they endured slurs and were stabbed with pencils, pushed into walls, shoved into lockers and even urinated on by fellow classmates because of real or perceived sexual orientation........
