Shouldn't there be a rule against using your floor time in Congress to pray?

Just yesterday, I commented about an article that analyzed President Bush's penchant for using rather artless straw man fallacies when answering his critics. By an almost amazing coincidence, that very day he was busily engaged in doing more of the same in a press conference. For example, when…
It seems that Tamara Wilhite and Jen Shroder are in good company over at bushcountry.org. Let's take a look at another columnist there, Joseph Grant Swank. He writes not only for bushcountry.org but also for the amusingly named intellectualconservative.com that allows the uber-idiot Bob Meyer to…
One of the Talk to Action diaries has the text of a speech by Gary Lankford, president of the Ohio Restoration Project. Some of the statements in it are astonishingly ignorant. Like this one:
For over 300 years in America, it was widely assumed that to be in public office, you needed to be a…
It's hard to believe, but there was once a time when I had some respect - even admiration - for John McCain. Now, all I have is pity. The guy sold his soul to the Christian Right, but they haven't paid up. So what does he do? He tries to get them to take the last pitiful shreds of his intellectual…
Besides being incredibly stupid, Bachmann is a liar. She made up some quotes. This is typical of religious right wing nuts.
Aw com'on, I'm having a bad enough day as it is. You don't have to ask me to listen to five and a half minutes of incoherent drivel and bald-faced lies.
Jackal, he said, "Bachmann." How is that not fair warning?!? :)
If I am forced to pray, I will pray to Satan to swallow Bachmann whole.
Bad idea. Not only would that be cruel and unusual punishment for a demon who never did you any harm, but then we'd have to find a replacement for her.
The insanity is common enough, but she does communicate it soooo well. If Bachman didn't exist, we would have had to invent her.
There are days that I root for the Mikado....
D. C., if Bachmann were to disappear, we could put this stuff back in the hands of satirists, where it belongs. And their speeches tend to be much easier to listen to. This kind of incoherence falls squarely under truth being stranger (and more painful) than fiction.
this required someone to stand up halfway through her speech with a ginormous sign saying "treaty of Tripoli"
:-p
Adams was a socialist, even though the word hadn't been invented yet (at least according to Hamilton.)
Has she mentioned that he's left-handed? I hear that's a real sign of evil.
What the fuck? I'm just trying to figure out what exactly the point of her little tirade was. Seriously, what was the context?
The context is they let her talk for five minutes.
i pay taxes 4 this shit?
