Insomnia doing it's thing, I channelled surfed and found a fine "round-table" of the 9 "Democratic Women of the Senate" on Larry King. I hope they stream this so I can listen from the beginning, or, at a minimum, there is a transcript of the show available. WA has 2 women Senators, both in attendance. And, I'm so incredibly proud of the eloquence, and assertive, yet politic, way Patty Murray speaks. She was just addressing how there is a gap where the Republican majority will not recognize that our Vets need to be supported, most specifically health-wise when they come home. More staff, at the VA to handle the plethora of cases, including mental health. These folks, the troops, are so fatiqued and disheartened, and they need support to shore them up when they come stateside, in between stints to Iraq. These guys are tired and pushed beyond a person should be. And, yet, when home, we don't offer them the care they need. This is wrong wrong wrong! Keep up the good work Miz Patty!!! ##
