Did Bachmann Make a Boo-Boo?

Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann told an audience that she agrees with the British move to pull its people out of the British embassy in Tehran. She added that, if she were president, she’d close the U.S. embassy, there, as well. As it turns out, the United States closed its embassy in Tehran in 1980 in wake of the hostage crisis.



         In The Moment

Candidates for public office,
When quoted in the news,
Make their comments to persuade,
Not only to amuse.
Thus, it’s hoped they’d make an effort,
Lest what they say proves errant,
To keep up with what’s happening
And all events deemed current.
