And Then I Said …

I watched Michelle Bachmann’s justification for her behavior. I worry when one’s judgment for behavior is “caught up in the moment.” Hopefully she’s less impulsive and more reflective and contemplative. I’m thinking that when one becomes a member of a legislature (whether it be statewide or national) one should have a basic understanding of the language of its country. And I don’t mean it should be limited to rural idioms. No. I expect a reasonable ability to spell a word, define it, and use it in a sentence. Obviously Ms. Bachmann has no understanding or familiarity with the words decorum or propriety. And quite frankly I believe her behavior at the State of The Union gives Minnesota direct cause to view her kindergarten report card. It’s obvious she scored poorly on “keeping your hands to yourself.” So I’m thinking we might have future incidents that reflect equally on “playing well with others.”

Lisa Nowak:

I’m so terribly sorry I actually know her name. When I hear someone say something that has no basis in reality I always say “they need to smell land” which implies they do not live on this good earth. Lisa adds a perfect spin to the phrase “spaced out.”

Anna Nicole Smith:

I didn’t watch her show. I’ve never worn Guess Jeans (do they make men’s jeans?) and I always thought she was too “hefty” to be truly attractive. I now know more about Anna then I know about Grover Cleveland. And that’s just sad. And that’s quite reflective on contemporary American culture.
