The good news for Minnesotans is they can now claim she fooled them
into voting for her, thinking she was an American, not a socialist.

The bad news for Minnesotans is her name is back in the news,
reminding the rest of us how stupid anyone is to have voted for her,
for any reason.

But then her District is mainly North Minneapolis. Where Grain Belt is
considered good beer.

And Willard "I never bullied anyone" Romney bribed her to get out of
the race with his *secret* Swiss bank account -- the vast right-wing
conspiracy in action!

"You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the
Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they
produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In
Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of
democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

-- Harry Lime (Orson Welles) in The Third Man

Yep, quote those movie characters to increase your vapid lines about
"right wingers." Harry Lime probably never read any history of the
country
or he would know that it produced *8* Nobel Prfize winners in Science,
2 in
Literature, and the names, Dalcroze (the inventor of Eurythymics which
I consider
myself fortunate to have had 2 years of), Honegger, Ansermet, and
Edwin Fischer.
They have already gathered some prestige as being the home of The
Large Hadron
Collider.

And do they have something to do with a famous cheese?

You're now defending the Swiss!? Are there no Alpine heights to which
you will not ascend? Your arguments have as many holes as their soapy
cheese. And how did you have two years of Honegger, Ansermet, and
Edwin Fischer? Did they pass you around like a pesky American tart?

P.S. I forgot to ridicule you about "Dalcroze the inventor of
Eurythymics". I am now doing so.
Everyone knows they're a British Pop group.

I never argue. I simply educate.

Did you have any classes in Reading Comprehension? I said I had two
years of *Dalcroze Eurhythmics*, something you may not know anything
about, so – read and learn:
