<i>"...throw away the microphone ..."</i>

I know of a woman who's daughter suffered mental retardation after using Bachmann's microphone. OK, it was Bachmann's mother and ... OK ... the daughter had the mental retardation before that. But throw it away anyway.

I don't mind wealth and income disparity. I mind an uneven playing field. I mind Repubicans holding up net worth as the only yardstick of a person's value, using wealth as a metric for virtue. People get rich one of three ways: inheritance, or luck, or by treating everyone in their life as a profit center -- in other words, by being an asshole 24x7.

I bet Bachmann would step up, though it would be best to throw away the microphone after use.

In the interest of "fairness", natch.
