    YellowDogDem, I don't think Bachmann is crazy.

    I just think she is either seriously ill-informed, or is perhaps playing to a crowd that she knows is seriously ill-informed and therefore vulnerable to such...hoo-ha...as Ms. Bachmann is pushing here.

    On another front, I truly wish that posters like "RockyBalboa" would follow the link in my signature.

    There is nothing that hurts us so much as what we know that isn't so.* Mr. Balboa may be suffering from the malady of knowing some things that are are not so.

    *Pogo, I think.
