Bachmann Says NO to More Work

But, find a camera and she'll be there!

According to Politico, Ms. Bachmann was asked to be an appropriator next session and said thanks, but no thanks.


Ms. Bachmann presently sits on only ONE committee … the House Financial Services Committee … where she is a backbencher. Heck, even “rookie” legislators have more asssignments … Consider that Gregg Harper (R-MS) has just started his career in Congress this term and is assigned to four committees (Committee on the Budget, Committee on the Judiciary, Committee on House Administration, and Committee on Standards of Official Conduct). Or fellow freshman Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who is assigned to the Judiciary; Natural Resources; Oversight & Government Reform Committees.

Ms. Bachmann is lazy. The Appropriations Committee is a demanding assignment … requiring long hours that can involve skillful diplomacy. It is a lot easier to let someone else do the work …

For all the TaxEnoughAlready folks who sent their hard-earned dollars to support Ms. Bachmann’s re-election should be asking for their monies back.

Storey wills Tri-County to OT victory, North State

As the Tri-County Academy Rebels gathered around Trainor Storey at midfield towards the end of regulation in their second round game with DeSoto last Friday his message was simple.

"I just told them that we were brothers and we were going to go down and score and win this one," Storey said. "There was no way they were keeping us out."

The senior was true to his word as he guided the Rebels down the field to tie the game in the final minute and pull off a miraculous 35-28 victory in overtime.

The win kept the Rebs undefeated at 13-0 and was the first loss of the season for DeSoto.

TCA moves on to face Tunica Academy in the Academy A North State Championship this Friday.

"I'm very proud of this team right now," said Coach David Blount. "Their running game was probably the best we faced this year but in the end, our kids rose to the occasion."
