¡Viva Bachmann: fight the fascist census takers!

It was alarming — to say the least and the least was in this case the very absolute minimum that could be said, or that anyone would ever want to say — to virtually turn the page at the Strib’s website and discover that a fellow Saint Paulian and his Cheeseman-like fellow auteur from Waconia had wrested from yours truly — yet again (which is to say not for the first time) — the purple-speckled ersatz honor of being recognized by this year’s (dare I say this annum’s?) Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest judges.

Seriously, next year I have to remember to submit an entry. I’ve got the chops for this contest — really I do.

Bill Scher explains why we shouldn’t expect much from the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (aka Pecora Commission). Republican leaders get to pick four of the ten members and are dropping names like Jake Garn, Bill Thomas and Fred Thompson.

Sally Kern: the Michele Bachmann of Oklahoma

After reading Nate Carlile on Michele Bachmann, it occurred to me that the DFL is really blowing this one. Minnesota liberals should absolutely refuse to cooperate in the 2010 census! The fewer people recorded as living in Minnesota, the better the chances of reapportioning Michele Bachmann off the public stage.

By supporting Bachmann’s nuttiest crusade yet, we can get rid of Bachmann.

Works for me.

Well done. All the important names get dropped, and dropped well. This is one of the best web parodies ever.
