Wow! All of them? MVS? Linux? MS Windows? I can see that one – Bill Gates would no doubt be pleased if Sharia law applied, and anyone using a pirated copy had their hands chopped off. But what about Linux?
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.
Imagine the jaw-dropping horror I experienced just today, when I discovered … Michele Bachmann was BORN in Iowa. 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.
At least the state had the good sense to chase Michele north across the border before she achieved self-awareness. Don’t send her back! You hear?
King/Bachmann? Hmmmm…
Well, if it was Queen Bachman, people would think you were referring to her husband!
‘Takin’ Care of Business’ - a song written by… Randy Bachmann.
I smell conspiracy.
I’ve started to work on the porn script for Nailin’ Palin III: Knockin’ Bachmann. It will be a 90 minute movie with nearly three pages of dialog.
Makes you wonder how many Dems might have re-registered so they could vote for W in the 2000 GOP primaries . . .
I can totally see how any Republican, regardless of background or qualifications, would decide to just announce. I mean, if there are people out there sending money to Palin, who* isn’t* qualified?
You know, this might just be the perfect job for Ted Williams. . .
The fact is that for decades the Republican party has been making it’s decision based almost exclusively upon name recognition. The sooner you can get your name out there, and the more people you can get discussing it, the more likely you are to be nominated.
Furthermore, if she does manage to pull in the donations, the GOP will interpret this as a mandate from the American people, and feel obligated to grant her some high position. This move alone could net her the SecState position. Which, not matter how badly she screws it up, could make her seem qualified to run four years later.
It’s a nightmare.
Not many. Unlike what is expected in 2012, there was no sitting incumbent Democrat running for President. Democrats had a choice between Gore & Bradley (with Kerry, Gephardt, Wellstone, & others waiting in the wings). And it started out close – less than 5% apart – so most Democrats would have stayed in their own primaries, to make a difference there.
And in half the states, you don’t have to register in one particular party – they are open, and you just choose which one to vote in on Caucus or Primary Day.
Those three pages of dialogue will be hell to shoot (Jack Donaghy style).
You know, I don’t think Ventura or Schwarzenegger did so badly. You don’t have to be a celebrity to become a Blagojevich, Spitzer, Edwards, Sanford etc.
There is no way she’ll be able to keep her mouth shut. No way.
Yeah, he did. Running Man, where he wasted the two hapless stunt performers who’d been subbed in for the characters Arnold and Maria Conchita Alonso were playing.
Ted Williams the ballplayer in cryonics suspension, or is there another Ted Williams out there?
(Although Ted Williams’ defrosted head does seem at least as qualified as Michele Bachmann.)
If you defrost it, aren’t you being unfair to Bachmann?
If Christianity got one thing right over Islam it is that they didn’t give a name to making their religious practice into law. They are smart enough to do it in a clandestine manner.
She might be smart enough not to blab about actual classified material, but at the least she’ll make shit up and claim she knows it because of classified intelligence briefings.
Always thought the name Ubuntu sounded un-American.
