Doesn't look crazy at all
-Headline of the day-
"Bachmann tells Pelosi to give up on global warming because Jesus already saved the planet."
That'd be Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann -- a freakin' lunatic some call "Minnesota's Answer to Florida's Katherine Harris." That ought to give you an idea of just how insane this woman is.
Previously known primarily for nearly sexually assaulting President Bush after the 2007 State of the Union Address, Bachmann may have cemented her nutjob bona fides here. Speaking to the right wing crazy site OneNewsNow, Bachmann said, "[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she’s just trying to save the planet... We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet -- we didn’t need Nancy Pelosi to do that."
Well then, that settles that. We don't need to do anything about anything ever, because Jesus already took care of it.
Kind of makes you wonder why we need Michele in Congress, doesn't it? (Think Progress)

-It's one of those good news/bad news things-
The good news is that if you're planning to go to the Republican National convention, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a hotel room. The bad news is that if you're planning to go to the Republican National convention, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a hotel room.
Turns out that the GOP convention in Minneapolis won't be extremely crowded. An "enthusiasm gap" between Republicans and Democrats will make for a more laid-back and sparsely attended affair. This despite the appearance of electrifying speakers like Dick Cheney, Joe Lieberman, and a droning white-noise generator.
A Senate Republican press secretary "who spoke on the condition of anonymity" explained the expected low attendance numbers; "Nobody likes a funeral."
