The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) is currently investigating Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann’s 2012 presidential campaign, on suspicion of improper usage of campaign funds, according to a new report from The Daily Beast. While Rep. Bachmann is not believed to have personally committed any criminal actions, investigators are trying to ascertain whether or not Bachmann was aware of under-the-table payments to several advisers and, if so, when she became aware of the cash transfers. While OCE has no real enforcement powers of any kind, the board does make direct recommendations to the House Ethics Committee, though we don’t suspect the threat of censure (a.k.a a stern talking to from Congress) particularly frightens Rep. Bachmann. (Photo via Gage Skidmore) source

Alright kids, here’s the deal…

I’ve been off the political scene since the election (taking some personal time & all that jazz), but I’ve decided to come out of hiding. Why? Because there are some historical hot button issues being pitched around in the political ballpark right now (gun control, tuition equity, LGBTQ rights, etc.) & as you all know, I can’t keep my mouth shut about them for long. I’ve been abroad for the past three months & have enjoyed the unique opportunity to see what our issues look like from an outsider’s perspective as well as hear what people in Europe think of our issues. Some of the answers I heard might surprise you. It’ll take me a little while to get this thing up & running again, but if any of my old fans are still out there I’d love to hear from guys. Write in, tell me what topics are important to you, & we’ll get this fucking show on the road to crazy town again.
