| Description | What do Sen. Michele Bachmann and a partially eaten grilled cheese sandwich have in common? They're here to help us define what is on the fringe, and what's just good old-fashioned religion.
First, some background.
Michele Bachmann is a conservative Christian Republican state senator from Stillwater. She almost single-handedly shut down the Legislature's 2004 session when she insisted that no progress be made unless it included a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage. Her "prayer armies" occupied the State Capitol at all hours, exhorting legislators to protect them from what they believe to be the menace of stable lesbian and gay relationships. Bachmann and her troops stand ready to use the same issue to clobber the 2005 Legislature.
