her idea of health insurnace is a prayer chain. she’s a Christian fundamentalist politician from the outer-suburbs of the twin cities who tried to have science replaced with intelligent design when she was on the school board. She tried to have the movie Aladdin banned because “it teaches witchcraft”.

Usually, she’s out there claiming CO2 is a harmless gas and insisting we should drill for oil on all the wildlife refuges, and rejects cap-and-trade.

Recently she was on the air claiming the swine flu was a plague sent by god because we elected another democratic president.

“Bachmann wrote on her blog”

I feel sad that I didn’t know she had one — but also dumb because *of course* she has one.

So the government can heavily subsidize the agri-farming industry and that’s OK with Bachmann? But not those commie/socialist Farmers Markets run by individual farmers? Not only is she a nut, but she’s downright stupid too.

Minnesota’s obesity rate continues climb upward.

Study shows obesity increased to almost a fourth of its population, but rates of diabetes didn’t rise.

By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune

The rate of adult obesity in Minnesota is on the increase, but the state is still better off than most.

That’s the word this week from an annual report issued by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The report ranks Minnesota 30th, with 24.8 percent of its adults being clinically obese. That’s up from 23.7 percent in the previous year’s report.
