Michele Bachmann has said more than her fair share of crazy stuff. Edit: And also sometimes they're just too far on the right, and us left-wing folks simply vehemently disagree. There ARE sane Tea Party members. The media just never reports on them because they're too sane. Sanity doesn't make for good ratings. I think the big lesson to take from this trial is that, as far as the media is concerned, ratings > truth. And nothing improves ratings like conflict, so they try their hardest to stir shit up. The 24-hour "News" cycle is the most despicable system on Earth. | ||

Hit your head somewhere so hard that it starts bleeding, and then check the surface, if you can see any blood there. For you to have blood on the surface, you need to touch it again edit: not that it would matter though. | ||

Juries can respond poorly to "hired gun" experts. Its like you are paying for someone to agree with your case. | ||
