23:THE BLOG

Filed under: Ray AbruzzoAlexander, Allard, Barrasso, Bennett, Brownback, Bunning, Burr, Cochran, Corker, Cornyn, DeMint, Ensign, Enzi, Graham, Grassley, Gregg, Hatch, Kyl, Lugar, McConnell, Sessions, Voinovich. Do you recognize those 22 names? What do those people have in common? I would venture to guess they all wear American Flag Lapel pins. It would be pretty safe to assume they have "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" yellow ribbon bumper stickers on their SUV's.

Filed under: Ray AbruzzoI have trouble sleeping at night. I have no trouble falling asleep during the day. There is a constant pain between my shoulder blades. At times, the pain feels the need to travel north to my neck only to return to its home, nestled between the blades with more conviction than before. My nerves are shot.
