How a man who supported Al Gore's attempt to throw out the votes from sailors on the USS Cole ever got to be on the Armed Services Committee- now THAT'S a national embarrassment.
He's Ted Baxter in space.

Have posted awards but will not be on the thread today dad is in hospital with broken elbow and suspected broken hip.
Doing bone scan tomorrow to determine extent of hip injury plus state of bones etc which will give them better ideas of what surgery if any is needed on the hip. They would do elbow at same time to avoid putting him under twice.
At present also because of the blood thinners he takes the blood is too thin and they would not want to operate because it would be difficult to stop the bleeding.
Hopefully will have more news tomorrow after bone scan.
Just saw this, Phsstpok. I add my prayers of gratitude that your son is alright.
Nothing scarier.
I usually try to only post articles directly about or by the person in question. I posted that one for two reasons. First because the title was irresistible, in context. Second because I think Nelson is queued up to attack the administration over VA health care issues this week and he clearly will be using official and focus group tested talking points. This article represents the talking points to me, so I expect him to use phrases from it almost verbatim. It may even have been published in order to give him something to quote from. He's not smart enough for anyone to believe he could come up with an idea of his own, after all.
And the Ted Baxter comparison is perfect. Ted Knight, however, was a very bright and, from everything I've heard, a very nice man.
Terrific job, as usual, Phsstpok!
Thank you for the AWESOME analysis .. does FNC know you're out here, plowing the field every week?
Prayers for you and your son .. safety, strength, healing to our great FReeper.
