Michele Bachmann to a debate on the U.S. Constitution, Minneapolis’ City Pages reports. Writes Myers in a letter to the congresswoman: Though I am not in your home district, or even your home state, you are a United States Representative of some prominence who is subject to national media coverage. News outlets and websites across this country profile your causes and viewpoints on a regular basis. As one of a handful of women in Congress, you hold a distinct privilege and responsibility to better represent your gender nationally. The statements you make help to serve an injustice to not only the position of Congresswoman, but women everywhere. Though politically expedient, incorrect comments cast a shadow on your person and by unfortunate proxy, both your supporters and detractors alike often generalize this shadow to women as a whole. Rep. Bachmann, the frequent inability you have shown to accurately and factually present even the most basic information about the United States led me to submit the follow challenge, pitting my public education against your advanced legal education: I, Amy Myers, do hereby challenge Representative Michele Bachmann to a Public Forum Debate and/or Fact Test on The Constitution of the United States, United States History and United States Civics. An acceptance is not expected, as City Pages notes: “Bachmann is famously reluctant to put herself in positions where she might have to talk to someone who disagrees with her.” (Perhaps a stare-off would be more appropriate?) » Posted By funksands On May 13, 2011 @ 11:55 am Bito, I find it absolutely fascinating that Conservative in general seem to have paralyzing fear of the unknown, the imaginary, and the maybe… …but are curiously unafraid of real things happening around them. I’m not sure, but I think there is a key to attracting more conservative voters to the Democratic party in there somewhere. » Posted By funksands On May 12, 2011 @ 8:38 am Tired of the Righty complaining about Obama’s bin Laden “victory lap”?

Nice job! 🙂 » Posted By funksands On May 11, 2011 @ 4:40 pm Gotta be real. Apocalypse pet care? Sure! “What I believe is inconsequential,” says [founder] Bart. “That has not stopped the people who have contracted with me. They believe I am wrong but they also believe I will execute the contract.” As Bart admits, his customers could number in the single digits. In fact, the vast majority of the people who contact him are either atheists who want to get in on the action, or very angry Christians who feel that EEP is an affront to them. But not all potential customers are howling mad: Hank and Susie Carter are empty-nesters who live in Atlanta and they believe in the rapture. […] Hank and Susie are more amused than anything at the business idea. “I find it humorous that this fellow doesn’t share the belief is trying to turn a profit from people who do believe,” says Hank. Adds Susie: “They are smart business people, trying to make a buck. God bless them.” ” » Posted By funksands On May 9, 2011 @ 7:36 am Happy Mother’s Day.

CONVENINENT HUH? » Posted By funksands On May 6, 2011 @ 5:15 pm Bito, the GOP hopes it does. The FEC is a nearly non-functional hopelessly partisan body that tends to be unable to police its beat due to a continual split votes 3-3. Manchurian Commisioner Donald McGahn, who as a former defender of rule-breaking politicans has stated in the past: “I’m not enforcing the law as Congress passed it,” McGahn boasted regarding the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, commonly known as McCain-Feingold after its chief congressional sponsors, in a keynote speech at a symposium at the University of Virginia Law School. “I plead guilty as charged.” McGahn’s admission of “guilt,” however, came with a catch: He argued that it wasn’t his job to enforce this law as Congress passed it. Instead, he said, the commission’s job was to enforce the law as it’s been upheld by the judicial branch of government. “In a close call, the tie goes to the speaker, not the regulator,” he continued. “The court has said certain [portions of McCain-Feingold] are unconstitutional.” McGahn, at the University of Virginia Law School event, also boasted that there were only two new pages of campaign finance regulations on the books now than when he joined the commission. It’s no wonder that the GOP doesn’t fear the FEC. » Posted By funksands On May 6, 2011 @ 5:11 pm Maybe…. » Posted By funksands On May 6, 2011 @ 3:32 pm 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey Employee Benefit Research Institute o While 59 percent of all workers say they are currently saving for retirement, more than half (56 percent) say they have less than $25,000 in savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary residence and any defined benefit (pension) plans. o About a third (31 percent) of workers say they will need less than $250,000 to afford a comfortable retirement. o Yet almost half (45 percent) are not too or not at all confident they and their spouse will be able to save as much as they think they need, and 70 percent say they are a little or a lot behind schedule in planning and saving for retirement. o Well over a third (42 percent) say they determined their retirement savings needs by guessing. ***63% “Very” or “Somewhat” confident they’ll have enough money to retire and maintain their standard of living.

The decision by GOP leaders follows new rules they enacted in January scrapping the tradition of congratulatory measures, which they complained clogged up the House floor. The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution, 97-0, commending “the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and the United States intelligence community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, professionalism and sacrifice they displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.” http://thehill.com/homenews/house/159375-house-wont-honor-seal-mission-with-a-resolution » Posted By funksands On May 5, 2011 @ 8:21 am Buddy, he with the shiniest face, most-lifeless eyes, and foamiest mouth wins. » Posted By funksands On May 5, 2011 @ 8:15 am Ugh. This really sucks: Situation Update No. 103 Levels of radioactive substances have jumped in the Pacific seabed off Japan near the nuclear power plant crippled by a massive tsunami in March, according to the plant operator. Seabed samples collected some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant contained 1,400 becquerels of radioactive caesium-137 per kilogramme, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said. The level is more than 600 times higher than a maximum 2.3 becquerels per kilogramme detected in the past off the northeastern prefecture of Fukushima. http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/woalert_read.php?edis=NC-20110311-29877-JPN » Posted By funksands On May 5, 2011 @ 8:14 amComments Posted By funksands
