A lot of this comes from Paul, who wrote a lot of letters, talking about how women should cover their hair, stay silent about church matters, and be obedient to thier husbands. Paul wasn’t married, as if you couldn’t tell. ---

[She’s on the cover of Newsweek.](http://twitpic.com/62jq7z) I don’t know if she says anything crazy. Of course it is an interview and she does speak, so the chances are very close to 1 to 1 that she does say something crazy. However, the purpose of this link is to confirm that yes, she does in fact have crazy eyes. ---

I defy anyone to find a picture of Michele Bachmann in which she does NOT look crazy. It’s not like they photoshopped her or anything. That’s what the bitch looks like. Don’t look at the eyes for too long, it starts to get really creepy. ---
