Yep, it's Saturday night and time for<\/span> Right Wing Follies<\/strong><\/em><\/span> brought to you by the Republican Party of the US and their right wing associates. <\/span><\/p>\n

Guano Girl!  She's baaack!!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Climatologist and biblical scholar Michelle Bachmann has a theory about floods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where there is horrifically bad weather in America, there will always be some kook proclaiming it is God’s wrath for America’s sinful ways. Same sex marriage, blah blah, abortion, yah de yah de yah.<\/p>\n

This week the storm in question was the flooding in South Carolina, and the kook in question was Michelle Bachmann. Turns out that the severe flooding in South Carolina and parts of North Carolina, yep, God’s wrath, people. What’s God pissed off about now? U.S. policy on Israel. “US turns back on Israel, disasters following,” Bachmann tweeted, employing some headscratching grammar. She helpfully included dramatic flood pictures from South Carolina, so her followers would know which biblical flood she was referring to.<\/p>\n

How exactly the US is turning its back on Israel is not explained. Of course, this is not the first time Bachmann has pointed out that President Obama’s foreign policy is hastening the End Times. They are nigh, people! Time to take that crash course in arc building. <\/p>\n

I have a theory about a flood . . . specifically the flood of nonsense that eminates from Guano Girl!  It seems that if she is denied an audience for any length of time, she comes right off the rails! . . .<\/strong> even more than usual!<\/span><\/p>\n
