Diva bus, redux? Retooled, less ambition, the lowered expectation thing - a paycheck maintenance second-fiddle first-runner-up pagent queen's okay thing. Practicality. God's scaled it back. Mirror on the wall picked Santorum too. So, play the familiar CD6 casino. Use the GPS, find Pastor Mac's prosperity stage again. It's less familiar here, roads, routes, than in DC or Iowa.


HI. I want to be your PRESIDENT!!
Oh, fiddlesticks, @#^*%&^ Santorum.
HI. I want to be your ..., well, congressperson.


Then there are details. Repainting the bus.




I see Bachmann's soliciting cash from Christians, something like that, because, gasp, a person who's spent the last few years in district, from St. Cloud, Anne Nolan, gasp, is "The Occupy Wall Street Candidate." (In the old days the term was DFL anti-Christ, but Bachmann's got new handlers, a softened message ...)

My advice to Nolan - no pretentious Diva Bus. A modest non-wasteful sincere and honest thing, green is good, a solid DFL peoples' bus, something like, what, this?


Honest, sincere, good Green Bus.


Yeah. That is kinda nice. More DFL than DIVA.

Put another way --

 Welcome, Anne Nolan, to your DFL Minnesota Congressional District 6 effort.

Making the WSJ and HufPo, because the Queen B has annointed you "Occupy Wall Street Candidate."

(Actually, that's not entirely how PiPress reports, with Nolan regarding herself as motivated by the Occupy movement, its message and hopes - Bachmann then being reactive, not proactive.)

Isn't it really, the non-pretentious, non-extravagent, pearl-free, green-is-good, unpainted candidate? Just wondering.

Now, with Nolan having declared, the district shall wait and see whether she is the lone challenger.

Fun times. Waiting and seeing.

___________UPDATE__________
Being thankful when thanks is due; the vicious and groundless Bachmann attack of the occupy movement; (which is akin to a progressive Tea Party for thinking folks instead of nose-ringed cattle), has reminded me that in the course of an edit or two of the blog template and layout, I accidentally disabled the Occupy support flag, upper right hand corner, and that made me fix things. Thanks, Queen B.

I would not want that error of omission to cause anyone to think I am channeling Bachmann venom, or am somehow intimidated when others channel on cue and in a sophomoric way (looking at only a suspect individual or two in the movement to say it represents the movement). What might I gain if wasting time on a similar ploy - a focus on some particular poster child Tea Party activist personsuch as they are in that camp? (Why would I want to do that? After all, the Bachmann touters would never say or imply the only-one-bad-apple thing fits for Tea Party but is inapplicable to Occupy. They'd be more honest than that. Likewise, I would not say or even imply all Tea Partiers are like this. It would be false, provacative and smarmy to post something like that.)

___________FURTHER UPDATE___________
Nolan has said she will abide by the endorsement process, and has run pro-life.

She cannot be more rabidly pro-life than the egoist-incumbent, and she has yet to be faced with the direct question of whether she'd actively want to overturn Roe v. Wade (or now the GOP is putting Griswold v. Connecticut into question so any CD 6 candidate of any of the three parties - presuming IP runs a candidate this cycle - should be asked not only the Roe question, but also the Griswold question).

So far Bachmann has ducked the Griswold question entirely, and has gotten a press free pass to do so.

Nolan has never come near to saying the separation of church and state should be stricken from our heritage, and we all know who Michele Bachmann is - a Mary Kiffmeyer clone, that way.

Finally, Nolan went to a real law school, U.Minn., and is not a vain Diva over having a degree, of sorts, from Oral Roberts. What's not to like there more, a lot more, than when compared to Bachmann. Add, she represents a family of computer scientists - herself trained in the discipline; and not from a family running a faith healing "clinic."
