My fiancee was just pointing out an article to me that discusses how Michele Bachmann was in New Hampshire and seemed to get some of her historic facts wrong.

The truly funny yet also somewhat painful part is reading the comments. Some of them are so awful, I can't tell if they are supposed to be real or parodies or what.

As an excellent example -

"Alfred" Einstein. And "Charles Lindburgh discovered electricity" too. I have to say that as a historian, this makes my head hurt.

1. I hope kbday is a joke

because God help us if s/he isn't. To say kpday is dumber than a box of hammers is an insult to hammers everywhere.

2. If you click on kpday

you can see a bunch of his other comments. It seems sarcasm might be his favorite mode of communication. (Loved his comment about those rich teachers flaunting their wealth by driving 1987 Toyota Tercels around town. :rofl: )

4. You are so brave . . . reading the comments section

of Boston.com makes my brain hurt. It is filled with right wing astroturf that trashes anything that isn't a tea party/GOP talking point. Very few rational people bother to post there anymore.

That said, kpday is definitely playing with the morans. I wonder how many of them hit the "like" button before they realized they were being taunted.
