Sorry, I embrace the Anishinabe warrior society with great reverence and respect. We don’t “slit wrists” to become “blood brothers.”

It’s a clan thing proven on the field of battle. As an Irishman, I’m sure you understand.

It’s an unfortunate misinterpretation by the congresswoman.

I’m not knocking her, just wishing she had studied her “Indian” misinterpretation of “slit wrists.”

Or as the ref says: No harm, no foul.

Oh, come on, Sarge...while I never slit my wrists as a kid, I know for a fact I slit the palm of my hand a few times with friends to shake and be blood brother. Was it right? Hell no...but that's what we heard was right in the injun' world for blood brothers.

If Ms. Bachmann wants to be a little off on her indian lore while maintaining that incredibly smart intellect and "hot" cougar image at the same time, I am willing to give her the slack.
