Who Shot Daisy Mae?

This entry was posted in Cat Blogging on by

There is no excuse for this:

Daisy%20Mae.jpgDaisy Mae, an outside cat, had a routine. When she wanted to come back in the house, she’d mew outside Bryan Booker’s bedroom window, the teen would open the window, and she’d jump in.
But late Thursday night, the 3-year-old white longhair cat meowed weakly, then limped to the front door, dripping blood from her mouth, where someone apparently had shot her.

May the perpetrator rot slowly….
Pasado’s Safe Haven is helping:

What Happened:
Daisy Mae, a 3 1/2 year old pet came indoors last night, laid down, and began bleeding on the floor. The owner, who cannot afford veterinary care, rushed her beloved cat to an emergency clinic anyway. The cat had been shot with a .22 in the jaw and in the gut. Surgery estimates? $2000+
That’s when a kind-hearted veterinary technician called Pasado’s Safe Haven.
We offered to pay for Daisy Mae’s surgery AND offer a $5000 reward.

You can help out by donating to Pasado’s!

A Deliberative Congress?

This entry was posted in Government on by

Think Progress reports this from CNN:

More and more, Congress is acting less like a deliberative legislative body, and more like a political campaign. We’ve been seeing the politicization of every aspect of government.

Pshaw! Nothing new here.
These folks have apparently been operating under the delusion that congress has been a deliberative body anytime during the past couple of centuries.
Most vote changes have occurred in the the hallways and offices of the congressional office building; and, yes, in quite a few DC bars and restaurants. These changes as well as some that have occurred on the floor typically fall under the labels of arm twisting, back scratching and purchase rather then deliberative debate.
Don’t expect this to change. They don’t represent you.
