Rep. Michele Bachmann’s wacky State of the Union response was rife with problems, from not looking at the right camera to a technical glitch that prevented her speech from being broadcast on the Tea Party Express website, but the first signs of trouble appear to have started hours before.

It’s Veteran’s Day! Governmental everything–the schools, the courts, the city offices, the garbage-collection department–is closed. Oh, but not the jails–those are always open. Take your pet bald eagle to the parade and then buy him a Harley Davidson bandanna and some apple pie, for Liberty. And discuss these news developments. Read more »

All the crazy anti-government stuff conservatives have been spewing could have negative consequences for Republicans when the 2010 Census numbers are tallied. With right wing politicians like Michele Bachmann basically characterizing the census as internment papers to future FEMA camps, the GOP is worried that their paranoid constituency won’t fill out the forms and will be underrepresented when congressional districts are modified. |WSJ|
Look, anyone who reads ANIMAL knows that we’re no fans of the Golden Twat of American Conservatism, Sarah Palin. However, even we can’t condone anyone throwing two tomatoes at Palin at a book signing in Minnesota, as 33-year-old Jeremy Paul Olson did last night. Read more »

Remember last week when wingnut princess Michele Bachmann led her minions in an anti-health care reform “revolt” on Capitol Hill complete with gigantic Nazi death camp imagery? Read more »
Of all the photos that I’ve looked at from yesterday’s Michele Bachmann-led wingnut invasion of Capital Hill, this was probably the worst of the worst. Yes, that is an image of the bodies of dead Jews killed by Nazis that was used to make the not-so-subtle insinuation that Obama’s homocommunist health care plan with kill all of America’s God-fearing white people. This + John Boehner mixing up the constitution for the Declaration of Independence + Todd Akin performing an abortion on the Pledge of Allegiance = one great big, gooey oyster of patriotism. YEEHAW FREEDOM! |Image via|
Yesterday on Fox News, America’s other retard wingnut princess, Michele Bachmann, called on all of her fellow tea-bagging wingnuts to scrape up a few pennies from behind the Dorito-stained Lazy-Boy in the double-wide, hop on a Greyhound bus and join her on the steps of the Capital so they could all storm the building and violently force the traitorous pinkos in Congress, aka the new Kremlin, to vote against Obama’s homocommunist health care plan. Bachmann said: “This is the Super Bowl of Freedom this week. Socialized medicine is the crown jewel of socialism. This will change our country forever.” Read more »
A few weeks ago, a freshman congressman from Florida named Alan Grayson burst onto the American political scene when he took to the floor of the House and presented his version of the Republican party’s health care reform plan, which essentially implores Americans to “die quickly” according to Grayson. The video of the speech went viral and then the cable news networks went nuts with it and before you knew it Alan Grayson went from being an obscure politician to a ubiquitous one in the blink of an eye. Since his big coming out party, Grayson, who sort of looks like he could play a Huey Long-esque politician in a Coen Brothers movie, has rarely turned down the opportunity to speak into any microphone thrust into his face, and the things he says into these microphones are getting more and more offensive and downright dumb. He’s on the road to becoming the Democrats version of Michele Bachmann, minus the full retard factor of course, and he should really just shut the fuck up. Read more »
