Anderson Cooper reports that 14 dogs were found shot to death in an evacuation center in Louisiana. Animal Rescuers found the bodies of 14 dogs shot to death in a Middle School. They died agonizing deaths--one had tried to run away, but was chained. I couldn't get the direct link, but the video is on CNN.com.

The St. Bernard Sheriff claims he is looking into this execution of pets left behind. He says he did not order it. People who left their dogs are hysterical--they were told they could bring them, then were ordered to evacuate the school and leave the dogs. Heartbreaking notes line the walls--telling about these dogs and asking someone to take care of them. I won't even begin to tell you what should be done to the monsters who shot these innocent pets.

Many people stayed behind in their homes because of their pets, many may have died because they could not leave them. I would have stayed with my pets.

So many people get lost in the shuffle. I have a friend who is one of these people. She lived an upper-middle class life until she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Her alcoholic husband could not deal with her illness. He got abusive. She got a divorce and a small settlement. Her oldest son borrowed some of that money and has not repaid her. Her youngest son was recently in an accident--they found out he only has a couple of years to live because his liver is riddled with cirrhosis at 26.

Three years ago today, we lost a lifelong Liberal Democrat to a stroke at the age of 76. He was an extaordinary man. He is my Daddy.

Anthony Andrew was born to a blue collar family in Cleveland, OH. Both parents were immigrants to this country. They were not Italian, Dad just happened to be born near St. Anthony's day. He was their 4th child. They were soon to lose their 3rd child to diptheria. Dad was the rebel, their black sheep. He refused to wear wool pants--he was allergic to them. Wearing corduroys to church just wasn't done, but Dad did. He was never one to put up with any bullshit or anything irrational.

He went to one day of Catholic Boys High School and refused to go back. Despite my Grandmother's hysteria, he won--he graduated from a public High School, John Hay High. One day later he was drafted.

from the GREAT STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Welcome to the All Dog Broadway Extravaganza Thursday edition of Cheers and Jeers! I am your fill-in host, PoliSigh!

(cue orchestra!)

A line of hundreds of C and J's own dogs bounce their way on to the stage to the strains of "The Bunny Hop" Suddenly, Zanzibar spots Homer on Sneaky Snu's lap.......Zanzibar bolts off stage in pursuit of Homer. The line breaks up into pandemonium. PoliSigh runs out to the middle of the stage and is trampled by the dogs as they try to get the pootie.

(Slap, slap)..."Poli? Poli? Are you ok?" Baldwiny asks if she would like a moist towelette. " Umm, no but a Rum and Coke would help--with a couple of limes please?"

Poli staggers to her feet, sniffling a little, mumbling "frickin' dogs", she squares her shoulders as she faces the audience and in the grand tradition of the theatre, the show must go on.......

Live from New Hampshire, it's CHEERS and JEERS! starting in the extended entry section...[oooof--get this dog offa me] RIGHT NOW [GONGGGGGGGGGG] (ooooo-nice resonance Revel)
