【2007 Archives】

In the waning days of 2017007 Archives former Minnesota Tea Party congresswoman Michele Bachmann indicated she'd been looking for a sign from God about whether or not she should run for the U.S. Senate in 2018.

It looks like God has responded via a billboard in St. Paul, Minnesota. It's a resounding one-word answer: "No."

The billboard cropped up in St. Paul earlier this week, the work of the folks at the satirical website TheGoodLordAbove.com.

Or maybe God.

Or maybe God in the disguise of of the folks at the satirical website TheGoodLordAbove.com.

Who am I to say?

Anyway, this all started in late December 2017 when, during an appearance on The Jim Bakker Show(yes, thatJim Bakker), Bachmann said people had asked her to run for the U.S. Senate seat just vacated by Al Franken, who resigned over allegations of sexual harassment.

Bachmann told Bakker that her failed 2012 presidential campaign had "fulfilled the calling that God gave me" but that, with regard to the upcoming senate race, “So the question is: am I being called to do this now? I don’t know.”

That's when the folks at TheGoodLordAbove.com stepped in with a crowdfunding effort to purchase the billboard.

The project easily passed its goal of $7,000 and, well, here we are.

We've reached out to the people behind the billboard for additional comment, but given that God's a pretty busy deity, we may just have to settle for keeping an eye out for a billboard of our own.
