Rep. Michele Bachmann was the topic of a segment on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night. Among Stewart’s many quips, he challenged Bachmann’s now-notorious word choice in calling a $20-billion, Obama-administration-orchestrated fund to aid oil spill victims “extortion.”
“‘You broke it, you bought it’ isn’t extortion,” he said.

“You broke it, you bought it” helps protect businesses from careless shoppers – but when it comes to holding businesses or republicans responsible for the consequences of their actions, it’s “that Pottery Barn crap.”
Gasland is a movie well worth watching. Hydraulic Fracturing is the next “can’t happen” catastrophe-in-the-making. With available fresh water declining world-wide, drinkable ground water is more valuable than the natural gas they could extract.
Day of Prayer? Secular government has no business co-opting the prerogatives of religious leaders.
Funding an escrow account would *diminish* their ability to pay claims?? Does this guy get his talking points from the back of a matchbook?
