Michele Bachmann applied for Swiss citizenship

May 10, 2012

It seems that last winter, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, her husband, Marcus, and their children applied to become citizens of Switzerland, an option that is open to them under Swiss law because the parents of Marcus Bachmann had both been Swiss citizens. (The Bachmann family kept their American citizenship.)

I can only imagine the freakout on the right if a prominent Democratic legislator — a one-time candidate for president with a significant following — decided that American citizenship wasn’t good enough and had pledged dual loyalties to a European country that allows same-sex marriage and offers universal health care with compulsory health insurance.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
