Barney Frank Gets Tongue-Lashing on Plane CBS News

13.04.10

Congressman Barney Frank endured the not-so-friendly skies Monday on a trip back east from California as a pair of doctors upset over the recent health care overhaul confronted the Massachusetts Democrat, the Boston Globe reported.

The verbal row began, apparently, when the doctors, two sisters who are ophthalmologists and were headed to a conference in Boston, began criticizing the bill -- calling it an "Obamanation," a term sometimes heard from Tea Party members -- upon noticing Rep. Frank nearby.

"They wanted to talk to me, but I apologized and said I like to read and watch on planes," Frank told the Globe. Frank said the women talked louder and then his partner, Jim Ready, told the women, "If you're trying to be bitchy, you're doing a good job."

The remark did not sit well with the women and a heated argument ensued, with some wondering if the plane would have to land before reaching Boston, witnesses say.

Does anyone remember this classic cartoon?

Apr 20, 2010 by Kimberly S | Posted in Comics & Animation

I don't call to mind if it was Silly Symphonies or Merry Melodies, but I used to have it in one of the many VHS compilations from the 80's of classic cartoons. It was one cartoon and had a adaptation of the Pied Piper, 7 Gables (with Clark Gable), the Angel Band from Clean Pastures, Old King Cole, and a batch of the then current celebrities in cartoon form. Out of all of the VHSes I had, it was my favorite. If anyone could tell me the name of it I would be eternally grateful.

When my ill framer had to sell his house, the attorney handling it threw out everything, including these (for me) priceless cartoons. I'm slowly getting them back, but I'm missing this one. Please labourers.
Well, after a long search I found it. The name of the cartoon is "Have You Got Any Castles?"

And no, I didn't use LiveJournal.

If it's remarkably that important to you, I suggest that you create a Livejournal account and join the What Was That One? community on Livejournal so you can ask there.

They are for the most part very, very, very good at answering this kind of question.
