Rising Hegemon
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) swung by a Chicago-area synagogue for a worship service on the eve of Yom Kippur last week, upsetting congregants and provoking one man to mount a campaign for her Democratic challenger before the end of the night. The Chicago Tribune reports that Rabbi Michael Siegel of Anshe Emet Synagogue observed protocol by offering a customary greeting to Bachmann during the services. While elected officials are traditionally acknowledged during such events at the temple, the presence of the conservative Minnesota firebrand prompted particular displeasure. Some reportedly walked out of the ceremony, while Gary Sircus, a 25-year member of Anshe Emet Synagogue, voiced more active opposition to Bachmann's attendance. "The holiness of the room and the holiness of the evening was greatly diminished for me, if not completely destroyed," said Sircus, according to the Tribune. "Our congregation values and embodies tolerance, compassion, respect for individual rights, intelligence, science -- all of the things that I think Michele Bachmann stands against." ... Hours after storming out of the service, Sircus donated to Jim Graves, Bachmann's Democratic opponent in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District, and included a note.

Apparently she was in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood for private fundraising functions.
Work it, Michele. Work it.
Hmmm ... this reminds me of the day Rupert Murdoch walked into the Wall Street Journal newsroom for the first time as the new owner. Thunder rolled, lightning flashed, dogs began barking, birds flapped their wings and screeched and the unmistakable whiff of sulfur filled the air.
...all part of her charm.
Did the local Fox News station mention this and say it was a "win" for God's close, personal confidant?
coattails. long coattails.
Still, some people suggest that you roll the car a little every 2 weeks or so. Reporting to them would make you think twice about inertia and letting go of your goal setting. For first use, it is always advisable to discharge the Dell laptop battery to 3% and then fully charge it (around 12 hrs).
