Chris will be posting a more writerly/agency-focused Upstart Crow Literary post in a short while, but in the meantime, I must post this bit of brilliant truth-telling by Barney Frank. He’s got the right of things, regardless of where you stand on the issue of national healthcare. If only everyone in politics were as articulate.
(And should your politics not align with mine, please feel free to skip this.)

Thank you!! It had to be said, and Barney Frank has such a way with words. You just have to love him.

Bless you, Barney.
And thank you for sharing, Chris.

Amen. We need more politicians with guts like Barney.

Ah, thank you, Congressman Frank. These crazy right-wing dining room tables seem to be everywhere nowadays.

I’m proud to have had the chance to vote for Barney Frank my entire adult life. Thanks for sharing this.

I don’t know what other freelance writers and illustrators do for health insurance, but I’ve been without it for fifteen years. And it’s hard to draw and write with your fingers crossed. Go get ‘em, Barney.

Barney Frank is priceless. Just goes to show how much a biting sense of humor can cut through so much crap.

We need to clone Barney Frank and send him to ALL town hall meetings.
