Those of you who watched the SOTU speech saw Michelle Bachmann (batshit crazy-Minnesota) try to dry hump the President on the floor of the house after the speech. This is the same person who said she fasted for several days and prayed about running for the house. She is proof that there is balance in the universe. Crazy Bush lady Katherine Harris leaves the house, and the very same day Bachmann is there to take her place. There must be an unwritten law that there has to be one. Many of us were concerned enough to think the Secret Service ought to offer protection to the President from this lunatic whose husband's profession is deprogramming the gay out of people like Ted Haggard, and helping her pick snazzy outfits to wear. Those pink shoes were so killer!
Bachmann leaves us assured though that the President is in no way concerned about her juvenile high school cheerleader behavior. Condi might be jealous though. Bachmann relates:
"I was concerned that I had violated protocol. But I had gotten a call from the White House to assure me that they were not in the least offended. In fact they were happy to know that even a stoic Norwegian could show that might excitement about the president of the United States," Bachmann said.
Yup. Batshit crazy. When a President is at the low 30's in the poll, when even Barney is losing the faith, being a stalker of the President, isn't being "a stoic Norwegian". As a Norwegian-American all I can say is uff-da. As an added bonus, Michelle Bachmann stalks another man too in the following video. She is "hot" for Jesus. How would Christ measure up to W? Bachman thinks Shrub is quite buff.
"Dubya is an "awesome date," before adding, "He's so buff. He's like you, Jason, he has 1 percent body fat." "
What is the matter with people in Minnesota?

A 2002 study that suggested adult stem cells might be as useful as embryonic ones was flawed and its conclusions may be wrong, a scientific panel says — a finding that raises questions about the promise of a less controversial source for stem cells.
The research by Catherine Verfaillie at the University of Minnesota concluded that adult stem cells taken from the bone marrow of mice could grow into an array of biological tissues, including brain, heart, lung and liver.
So far only embryonic stem cells, which are commonly retrieved by destroying embryos at an early stage of development, are known to hold such regenerative promise. Many scientists believe they might one day be used to treat certain diseases and other conditions.
I listened to deep thinkers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity state that because of this study, we no longer needed to use embryonic cells because the adult cells were "just as good". Watch for any reaction if it comes. Another excuse shall be made as flimsy as the first. In a way this story comes at a good time, after the house voted to loosen restrictions on stem cell research, a bill the President threatens to veto. At least there is one less canard for those who hate progress to rest their arguments upon.
