Nice essay from Christopher Hitchens about Texas' own Elmer Gantry HERE, and more inanity from Michelle Bachman HERE. On the latter I quote:
I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending.
Her God sure does have crappy aim.
Maybe she was just making a poor joke, but she has said several times that God told her to introduce a constitutional ammendment in Minnesota against same sex marriage and that God gave her and her husband visions of marrying each other before they even met.
There's nothing wrong with propitiating God, but when She talks back that should always be cause for serious worry.
