An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
A Note From Rep. Blackburn
“Tomorrow morning, Americans will wake to find that the Senate has left a lump of coal in their stocking. To get sixty votes for his health care bill, Senator Reid had to twist more arms than a chiropractor. That leaves Americans with a bill that was crafted to meet a vote threshold, not a threshold of patient care. In it, critical health care decisions are shifted away from the doctor’s office and into the bureaucratic corridors of Washington.”
“Now negotiators from the House and Senate will sit down and try and reconcile two vastly different health care bills. I urge them to do this in an open and transparent way so that the American people will truly know what is in the final bill. I hope that the conferees will address important outstanding issues; like the federal panels currently empowered in the House bill to restrict patients access to vital preventive screenings such as mammograms.”
Whether you want to believe or not, your employees in the Senate just screwed you over…..ROYALLY!

“In an open forum”. Ha! Like that will ever happen.
And perhaps we the people should negotiate with them in this manner. With knee in chest and knife at throat. VA-128
Heh. Oh Glenn, what a wondrous mental image that presents!
The phrase was on a drawing of an A-6 Intruder with a full load of bombs. Specifically it said this. “You negotiate with your adversary with your knee in his chest and your knife at his throat!” Because at the time the A-6 Intruder was the Point of the Sword.
Now that’s one of those pictures I could use for a variety of posts. LOL
The squadron decommissioned a few years after I had retired so I would have no idea where to find one. There is no “alumni” site for 128 and most of us are scattered the four winds. But at http://www.swordsmen.org there is a rather fine gallery that may have something you could caption.
Well poo! I was hoping you had a pic. Oh well. sigh… Did some searching, but came up empty.
I’m with this woman.
I will make some inquiries. I do have a couple of guys who may be able to help out. No guarantees, though. It may have ended up in a land fill for all I know. But I will do what I can. I think the bomber loaded for bear would be a good Blog Header!
What a brilliant idea. I’m sure there must be such a picture somewhere!
