Know your candidates. Michelle Bachmann declared her candidacy for president today, and a disturbing number of folks in my neck of the woods actually think she's a viable candidate. I vote largely on the basis of science and education policy. So, as a public service.
Bachmann on evolution
Bachmann on climate change
Bachmann on stem cell research
Bachmann on environmental issues
Bachmann on education
To summarize, it would be difficult to construct, part by part, batshit-crazy idea by batshit-crazy idea, a more perfect anti-science, anti-education candidate. She out-Palins Palin. I would be tempted to wish for a Bachmann nomination, with the thought that she would be easy to defeat in November of 2012. However, my faith in my fellow Americans is not as strong as it once was. Like a rampaging rogue elephant, she needs to be stopped in her tracks.
