It's the second anniversary of my kitty Jenny's passing, so I'm reprinting the piece-with some small changes now-I posted about 30 minutes after her last trip to the vet, it was truly the saddest day of my life and leaves everyone crying as well, as this was some of the best writing I've ever done.

But, there's also light, in the forms of my two little monsters, Dodger & Dori, and their stories are worth telling as well.

So thanks to all who indulge me and read this, as I can't talk or write about Jenny enough, she's as close to a soulmate as I've ever had.

Seriously, the Democrats insisting that Joe Lieberman can be trusted to do the right thing, in a spirit of putting country first over personal ego & ambition, is definitely comparable to Bush Jr mouthing the now obvious catchphrase for spectacular incompetence, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Just from a tactical perspective alone, the Senate Democrats would have to be completely insane, or astonishingly stupid, to let an obvious bitter backstabber & Bush Jr lackey like Joe Lieberman retain his Dept. of Homeland Security chairmanship upon starting a new Congress, especially when he'd be able to tie up an Obama Administration with numerous investigations, subpoenas and demanded documents.

No, you do NOT keep someone in a post where they can hurt you, especially when that same slug didn't do a damn thing to hold the current Administration accountable in any way, shape or form for its numerous shortcomings, lawbreaking, or staggering incompetence.

"Sin Of Omission", as McCain stayed silent over the malice done his own child.

As someone with health problems severe enough to not allow myself to be a biological father, I don't understand how any parent can sit by and not only watch their children slimed, but actually make peace with those doing the attacks.

Which brings us to McCain's clear cowardice in refusing to stick up for his own adopted daughter, Bridget.

With a bonus sting in the tail at the end.

This would be Rep. Silvestre Reyes.

And to recap why I'm furious with him, it's best to read the diary I posted after our first conversation about the vile FISA rewrite.

Since Reyes pulled the stunt he said he was against back then, I've been fuming and stewing.

Today, I had the chance to let him know how upset I was.

Like so many others here, I've been in a very foul mood over the latest capitulation by the Bush Dog Dems to the most despised, unpopular President in living memory.

So I offer one way to hit back at those who subvert, rape and undermine our Constitution at every possible opportunity.

And if there are other ideas to hit back at these swine, please add them to the mix.

He's on a local talk show here in El Paso, and I pushed the "no telecom immunity" point.

Here was his reply.

I don't see how this "Remembrance" does anything but give desperately-needed political cover to the same warmongers still supporting this disastrous Iraq occupation.

When you've got a despised, vicious and vile adversary cornered, why on earth extend an olive branch in the hopes you won't get burned for your naive efforts?

First off, I'm dead set against any rewarding of clear, lawbreaking, which is exactly what immunity does for these telecoms

And I'm also desirous to see W get at least one veto threat rammed back down his throat

There's a way to offer telecom immunity with conditions so odious Bush Jr will veto it as soon as it reaches his desk

And that's how to paint Rat Bastard Bush Jr into a corner

And fight like All Holy Hell, like the Texas Senate Dems did during the DeLay engineered "redistricting", as doing everything to derail telecom immunity is actually a very easy issue to throw back at the knuckle-draggers who gripe & moan-about how burdensome playing by the rules the Constitution sets up-have become when supposedly battling "terrorists"

Timing is everything, and with the rant that follows, this is a subject that's bugged me ever since the NRA decided to mouth off about guns being confiscated in the aftermath of Katrina

The NRA likes to portray itself as an organization that helps protect us against an overzealous state intent on trampling the 2nd Amendment under jackboots galore, springing to fight at the first provocation

But, as with all the NRA's most cherished myths, reality paints a very different picture from what the organization pushes

Finally, some good tidings that uphold the rights of the sick

She wasn't mentioned in this article, but Nataline Sarkisyan couldn't have been far from the minds of the Court's justices in this case

And if it's bad for the health-insurance industry, it's good for consumers

Caving in to the most unpopular, reviled President in US history on a regular basis is infuriating enough, but refusing to let the GOP suffer politically for W's intransigence is about as self-defeating a Democratic political strategy as one can imagine

Bravo Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid, very clever way of holding W accountable, by giving Bush Jr everything he wants while simultaneously angering your already riled liberal/progressive bloc even further
