My fellow Minnesotans are, by and large, sensible folk. But even we are prone to moments of deep and profound stupidity. Residents of Michelle Bachmann’s congressional district seem particularly vulnerable to the stupid bug. Consider this quote by one of her constituents at a recent town hall meeting:
I’ll be danged if I am going to give up my Social Security because of socialism.
Words fail, don’t they? The gentleman who offered up this gem is also a town council member, which leads me to suspect that the residents of that town have incredibly low standards for their local leaders or they just enjoy a good joke.
