Michell, Dumb Belle

Not to get all political here, but ...

I wear a lot of T-shirts from a company in Santa Barbara, California, named Big Dogs (bigdogs.com). The shirts are printed with graphics that have a lot of "attitude." If I were visiting with Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-Minnesota), I'm not sure which one I'd wear. Here are a few examples:

I'm not saying you're stupid, but I'm thinking it.

I'd like to help you ... but I just can't fix stupid.

I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't get my head that far up my butt.

If I got smart with you, how would you know?

Shhh! That's the sound of nobody caring what you think.

Stupidity isn't a crime, so you're free to go.

Did I forget to mention how I feel about Michelle Bachmann? I think it's a good thing that all the citizens of the country have representation. That includes the stupid, the ignorant, the bigoted, the religious fanatics and all those who share a lack of "intellectual curiosity" that might otherwise lead them to an enlightened and accurate view of reality.

The Beatles wrote a song called "Michelle" that begins "Michelle, Ma Belle." I think it might fit Michelle Obama. What would fit Michelle Bachmann, however, would be titled "Michelle, Dumb Belle." I can picture Sarah Palin using dumbbells to strengthen her biceps. I think she could use Michelle Bachmann to strengthen her deranged world view. They are the future of the Republican Party. They're made for each other.
