Septic Tank - where the big clumps float to the top - SeptiCare image
Former Sen. Jake Garn, R-Utah, used to tell a story he claimed he first heard from then-Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyoming.
“The seniority system in Congress is a lot like a septic tank. You know: All the big clumps rise to the top.”
Not sure why, but that story sprang to mind when I saw this headline:
Michele Bachmann Rises as Sarah Palin Falls
(Original story, and headline, at U.S. News politics blog.)

Palin and Bachmann? Heck I was just talking about septic tanks and clumps that rise and fall. Clumps formed over say 23 years…yep unflushable some these old ones.

David, I’ll let you be the one to tell Palin and Bachmann they are “somewhat diminished in size.”

Sometimes you have to drain a septic when it becomes too blocked and flush out all the big clumps…. but some clumps are unflushable and still remain , though somewhat diminished in size.

Chris, that’s really funny. Do you think for one minute that Septic Helper 2000 would slow Michele Bachmann for 1 second?

Use the MillerPlante.net Septic-Helper 2000. It has the natural bacteria and enzymes that work in the tank and out in the drain field. New EPA mandates say that even a wet spot in your drain field could require replacement of your entire system or move out of your home.

Nick, I demand to see Bachmann’s birth certificate. Her name is awful “German-sounding”…

I wasn’t aware that the 6th district of minnesota was really in Hawaii. Which raises the curious question of how, since Hawaii had temperatures of 80 degress today, it was -10 in the district today.

apparently she isn’t talking to reporters this week because, as her staff said, she’s busy doing district work while in Hawaii.
Yes, that is exactly what her staff said.

Yeah, I’m not sure what to make of this… sometimes I feel like we’re being punk’d.
