I think her explanation is plausible. She was making a joke about the cluster of natural disasters. Similar jokes were made around our IT office: "I don't think God likes the latest build" and so forth.Defiant wrote:Bachmann: Irene was political message from God
Clearly you weren't paying attention. We either pay for disaster relief with spending cuts or we don't pay for disaster relief.Captain Caveman wrote:God is mad about federal spending so he generates natural disasters that require more federal spending? That doesn't seem very smart. Anybody who thinks about this for more than a few seconds would realize that the disasters occurred because of his disapproval of gay marriage.

It really doesn't. I consider the first 4 seasons to be some of the best TV of all-time and definitely think that "Two Cathedrals" is the best hour of television I've ever watched.malichai11 wrote:You mean Jewish, don't you?Mr. Fed wrote:Easy with that New York sense of humor.malichai11 wrote:Your god is too busy being indicted for tax fraud!Captain Caveman wrote:God is mad about federal spending so he generates natural disasters that require more federal spending?

You know, this isn't the appropriate place for this, but I feel that the West Wing just doesn't get the credit it deserves, probably because of how the show kind of sank after Sorkin left.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD’s official reaction to last night’s Republican presidential debate: Yikes.
Reading the reactions of thoughtful commentators after the stage emptied, talking with conservative policy types and GOP political operatives later last evening and this morning, we know we’re not alone. Most won’t express publicly just how horrified—or at least how demoralized—they are.
Just for grins I was live-snarking the debate last night on Twitter. I actually came out (1) liking Huntsman and Johnson more, and being happy they were there, (2) liking Paul a bit more, but knowing he's got all sorts of issues (even from a libertarian standpoint), (3) having more mixed feelings about Perry (hating him more for some things, begrudgingly admiring him for standing by his beliefs on others), (4) taking Cain less seriously, (5) finding Romney more electable but less substantive, and (6) despising Santorum and Bachmann even more.Pyperkub wrote:When Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard is dumbfounded by the lack of quality conservative candidates, you know something is wrong:

Rick Perry: 15.43%
Mitt Romney: 14.00%
Rick Santorum: 10.88%
Ron Paul: 10.39%
Newt Gingrich: 8.43%

Nevada’s jump ahead in the GOP presidential nominating calendar has prompted new rounds of finger pointing, insider wrangling and political threats. But some Republicans worry the biggest losers may turn out to be voters.
Republicans in the Western state announced earlier this week that they would hold their caucuses on Jan. 14, a shift that triggered a domino effect forcing other states to rethink the timing of their own contests. And now, despite private warnings from Republican officials in Washington, it’s looking more and more likely that Iowa and New Hampshire could schedule the nation’s first presidential voting for the height of the coming holiday season.
...
Nevada is among a host of states that violated party rules by pushing up their elections to garner more influence in the presidential nominating process. It’s unclear whether there will be any consequences. An RNC spokesman declined to comment publicly Thursday.
The spotlight now turns to New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner, who has the sole discretion to schedule the Granite State’s first-in-the-nation primary. Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn said he would like to schedule Iowa’s caucuses for Jan. 5, hoping that Gardner sets the New Hampshire primary for Jan. 10.
...
Gardner, who has set eight primary elections over the last three decades, said he is not likely to make a decision before Oct. 17. Strawn said he would make a decision in the next week to 10 days.
One consideration is a provision in New Hampshire law that directs Gardner to schedule the primary at least seven days before any other similar contest. It remains to be seen whether Gardner will interpret the Nevada election — which entail caucuses — as “similar” or not. Recent history offers a handful of examples of a New Hampshire primary less than a week before caucuses in other states.
