Hotel magnate Jim Graves says he’s ready to face off with Republican U.S. Michele Bachmann, undaunted by running in Minnesota’s most conservative Congressional district and what is likely to be one of the most expensive races in the state.

1. I thought her district was redistricted? Gosh I hope Mr Graves can win.

2. I hope she gets

Her ass kicked.

3. This is good news...

I hope she gets beat by such a large margin she doesn't ever run again for anything.

4. Ask her how old the universe is.

Then, ask her whether dinosaurs coexisted with humans. Then ask her what evidence she has for her position.

You might ask her if she thinks that the earth revolves around the sun. Or if she thinks that the earth is an oblate spheroid.

Bachmann is a Neanderthal! The only way to defeat her is to ridicule her.

5. Sorry, I can't get worked up about this...

Intoning I'd like better than to dump Bachmann, but there are too many Districts in play nationwide, and I can't contribute to all of them. I'm starting with the Tosups, nd working my wy outward.

10. Here's something interesting. Jim is being thrown a fundraiser by Garrison Keillor today.

Garrison, of A Prairie Home Companion, is taking us donors by bus to a remote location inside Ms Bachmann's gerrymandered district (which I've heard she no longer lives in, because of all of the manipulation). We'll be eating Powdered Milk Biscuits. For real. They've actually never existed until today. Well, I assume they're being baked for the first time today, because otherwise, they've only existed as a fake radio ad on his show and as a sign that hangs above the stage.

The funnest part for me is that Jim Graves is my girlfriend's boss. And Garrison threw a fundraiser for Al Franken some months ago, and he was hitting on my girlfriend pretty intensely... very funny.
