Michele Bachmann has added to her arsenal of idiotic theories. Her latest soap box is the Constitutionally required, once a decade, census. Bachmann believes that the census is an invasion into her and other Minnesotan's privacy, and as such she will not be completing hers. "Why does the government need our phone numbers?" Really? This is an issue for you? You're a congressperson. I can Google you and find your phone number. The census is in the Constitution, Congressperson, IT'S THE LAW!
This decade's census is all the more urgent as Minnesota's state demographer estimated that Minnesota could be within 1,000 people of losing one of its eight congressional seats. The great twist to all of this is that the district set up to be dissolved, is Bachmann's! Hm. Let me see...lose a seat in Congress currently held by a freak like Bachmann...not so terrible. It's one way of getting rid of her. But in the long run, we do lose our 8th seat. Better: Everyone completes their census as required, maintain our seat and have Bachmann's district FINALLY realize what a nutjob she is and stop voting her into Congress! What more do you need? Even Glenn Beck -- far right, weird-o, hate mongering commentator -- found Bachmann to be a little off. See the clip where he has to shut down the crazy rantings of Bachmann. (click on this post's title to go to that link.)
Ok, everyone. Complete your census and don't forget to vote. And those of you in Bachmann's district might consider writing the congressperson and give her a little push telling her our expectation that she follow Constitutional law, and complete her own census.
