I spent the last hour or so on the phone with Michelle Bachmann...
She held a conference call (insert joke here, thanks Asher) Anyway, a bunch of bullshit, and I am sure a lot of the calls were set up and she was not expecting me or my question about how specifically she plans on creating jobs by, ending the estate tax, capital gains tax, and lowering corporate taxes from 34% to 9%...

I have 7 pages of notes if anyone wants to read them.

the entire thing was stupidity and, "I am here for your business" and I want to "cut your business and personal taxes if you are a rich business owner"

I was the only person to ask a question that was not a member of the Stillwater MN Chamber of Commerce...

12. Wow. I never knew she had her own phone sex line.
What did it cost you, two, three bucks?

I hear she sells herself cheap. Seems like the Republics get her to quack about any crazy thing they need put out there, for free.
