The Ames Games: Bachmann eats corn dog

First it was the Newsweek cover pic of GOP presidential wannabe Michele Bachmann, “The Queen of Rage.” It was unflattering, to say the least, and widely believed to have been chosen by Editor Tina Brown for precisely that reason. But it was a glamor shot compared to this candid of Bachmann eating a corn dog … Continue reading The Ames Games: Bachmann eats corn dog

The Ames Games — A little late, but Perry is in

Just caught a line from Gov. Rick Perry’s announcement of his presidential candidacy: “I’m a Texan, and proud of it, but first and foremost I’m a proud American.” Wait …  Isn’t he the governor who not so long ago indicated a willingness to secede from the union?

Open mouth, insert foot, choke

I wasn’t paying much attention until he said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” What!!!??? Then he tried to explain it by saying “everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people.” The crowd wasn’t buying it and … Continue reading Open mouth, insert foot, choke
