No, I think they need to be called out every single time and Rep Raskin is doing an amazing job of this! I don't know how he has so much energy as he is recuperating from chemotherapy, but he is one heck of a representative for us!

Raskin in a national treasure, as is Professor Richardson!

Calling out the morons is a target-rich environment, like shooting fish in a barrel.

But it's such a deep, deep, deep dark barrel. Like, it's the Marianas Trench meets Mary Poppins Bag of barrels.

Maybe, but Rep Raskin is doing it well, publicly, and with good timing.

HeтАЩs right in the middle of chemo. Having been there, done that - I do not know how heтАЩs doing it. He is so full of energy and determination. Most of us were just resting at this point in treatment.

I second that "been there, done that, don't know how he's doing all that he is right now" comment. I did read somewhere that he is not showing any sign of "chemo brain"... mine lasted a full two years. Sigh.

Ally, two years ago yesterday I started treatment, and while I only had low dose chemo to boost the radiation, even that caused long lasting chemo brain. I still feel less agile mentally. You give me hope that thereтАЩs still improvement to be had! ItтАЩs his energy that astounds me. IтАЩve been wondering if those are his steroid days, or somewhere in a cycle where the side effects are lower. What an amazing man he is. And I love his head wraps. Some days he looks like a founding father, other days like a pirate.
