@TheBonyTruth: Bachmann's marketing shtick is the same as Palin's: They both depend on a sizable minority that (a) honest-to-Pete can't (wont?) discern between a fact and an opinion; (b) are therefore free to form their every last political view on a single basis: what they figure will annoy Liberals more.

@BPhillips21: I think training for the sort of emergency for which you might panic helps you not panic.

Five bucks says that Fulton doesn't know the difference between mifepristone and Plan B.
