Bachmann’s dreams take wing
By The best reaction I’ve seen to Michele Bachman’s undilutedly stupid musings on the “Hoot-Smalley” tariff:
I hope she makes history lessons a regular part of her work in the House. I want to hear about how the Second World War II began when the Japanese bombed our base at Pearl Bailey in the Hawaiian Tropic, and how women like Rosa Parks the Riveter went to work building bombers like the Enola Heterosexual Marriage.
As for me, I’m curious to learn how I could have lived in Minnesota for nine years without knowing that a well-regarded former Twins shortstop could have played such an important role in prolonging the Great Depression.
