The Brilliance of Michele Bachmann
Heard on Countdown this evening...
Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) apparently finds it "interesting" that the last time the United States experienced a swine flu epidemic was in 1976, under the leadership of another Democratic president -- Jimmy Carter. Who, by the way, didn't take office until January 20th, 1977.
Ms. Bachman has apparently also been appointed to some Republican committee on energy. Regarding carbon dioxide, she had this to say...
"...there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows carbon dioxide is a harmful gas. There isn't one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas. Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful."
My suggestion to Ms. Bachmann: Read more.

In general, I love the suggestion that if it's natural, it's harmless. Like funnel web spiders. And botulinum. And Elizabeth Bathory.
