A Rat's Eye View: Crazy People

Crazy People

One of Michelle Bachmann's constituents, Nancy Bjorkman was quoted in an MPR article saying, "I think she's willing to take a stand and stick to her guns, even when the guns are against her. And I appreciate that." I think that says it all. Minnesota District 6 is clearly one of the places we put the tube when the world gets an enema.

For some reason, my wife and I watched the July 4th show in Bachmann's eastern territory last night. Three things were apparent:

There is a lot of money in that place
Musical taste is not a right wing quality
The people in Bachmann's world can't drive for shit.

Damn! There are a lot of dumb folks in Stillwater. Escaping that silly town after the fireworks show was like getting out of Stillwater Prison. It reminded me of driving through a small Midwestern town at noon, when all of the churches let out their inmates. Traffic resembles random motion.

As John Stuart Mill wrote in 1866, "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."

Or, as Rick Santorum put it, "We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country. We will never have the elite, smart people on our side." In other words, Republicans only appeal to stupid people or rich people who aren't that bright.
