Rep. Bachmann: Taxes, Slavery, Health Care & Wrist Cutting, Oh My!
*The sad thing is that I’m just paraphrasing from a speech Rep. Bachmann (MN) recently gave. And I’m only barely exaggerating what she said. I swear. I think she meant that people should make a covenant, slit their wrists and become blood brothers (I guess women would-be blood sisters) in the fight against health insurance reform.
Usually the “blood brother” thing, if I remember my old cowboy movies correctly, meant cutting a finger or the palms of the hands and then shaking on it. If people do what she says and slit their wrists then, I sure hope they have some type of health care or they might be dead blood brothers.
