I would totally vote for Adam West. I don’t give a shit. Maybe he wants all of us to just pour a gallon of jet fuel on ourselves and strike a match while singing “I’m Henery the VIII, I am”… Don’t care. I would vote for him just because. ---

> [@Uncle\_Jocko](#): > > You know, as an Iowan, it was so much fun to point and laugh at the crazy Minnesotans, sendin’ that wacky-eyed people’s hero Michele Bachmann to the House again and again. Such fun we had, hearing the crazy stories about hiding behind bushes and smokin’ out non-American Presidents and whatnot! Of course, we have our own Taliban House member, Steve King (and a King/Bachmann ticket in 2012 would indeed bring the apocalypse and black out the sun … but it also would get rid of our illegal immigrant problem once and for all), but we could still chortle at Minnesota’s own Michele. Pssst . . . Thought everybody knew by now . . .

Waterloo, to be exact, just an hour up the road from me. Ye Gods! I knew parts of this state are, well, set in their ways, to put it mildly, but I’d never imagined my native Hawkeye state could have produced both King and Bachmann, two House members and Tea Party evangelists extraordinaire. Geez louise. Whaddaya expect?! Iowans. They’re so by-God stubborn they could stand touchin’ noses for a week at a time and never see eye-to-eye! ---

The Onion A. V. Club (Twin Cities edition) just put out a fabulous list: [“Five Reasons We Should Ignore Michele Bachmann’s presidential chatter”](http://www.avclub.com/twincities/articles/5-reasons-why-we-should-ignore-michele-bachmanns-p,49887/) The quick and dirty, without the explanatory text: 1. She’s a Congressional representative. 2. She hasn’t accomplished anything. 3. She has crazy eyes. 4. She wouldn’t win Minnesota. 5. She’s the wrong she. ---
