Blood pressure is sky high, frustration is at a level above anything I can remember...even though one of my fondest dreams has come true; Jonathan has his truck back!  That having been noted, I do not know where to start!  Is it when the Secretary of Homeland Security gushes praise over someone who should be a jailbird, and definitely NOT a serving senator? 

"Yesterday, the two Cabinet secretaries — both of whom have been subjects of Kennedy broadsides in the past — lauded the Democrats' aging lion as the one indispensable player in the negotiating process.

"He's awesome," gushed Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff , as he left a news conference announcing the bipartisan agreement. "I'd say he was one of the critical leaders in putting together this deal."

Awesome?  Teddy [hic] Kennedy!?!  Why is it only "rich Republicans" are reprehensible crooks, but rich Democrats are not?  I'm trying to think of a Republican who let a 20-something woman die in their car because they were either too drunk, or afraid of losing "face" in the media?  [author's note:  When did a Democrat ever pay a price for their misdeeds?  If you do not click on my links, I urge you to do so on this post!] 

I spent some time faxing my senators last night, to tell them the proposed law is BULL!  They are trying to sneak past the American people a law that was negotiated between La Raza ("The Race"), and other pro-illegal immigrant groups and "the swimmer" and others of his ilk should never be considered "awesome" for any reason, when they should already be in jail. 

While I am ranting about Massachusetts senators, or their sorry excuse for senators, I got an e-mail from my pal Rosemary with this story...see if you can see the similarities;

"Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered much attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his true discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his "entry level performance and conduct."

A complaint unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle charged him with one count of using or possessing a forged or altered military discharge certificate, and one count of making false statements in seeking benefits from the Veterans Administration.

"He approached us in early 2006, posing as a war veteran. He seemed very emotionally distressed about his experiences," said Amadee Braxton, a spokeswoman for Iraq Veterans Against the War, based in Philadelphia. "We later found out he had fabricated a lot of his military record and that he was somebody who had mental problems. We hoped that he would get those issues dealt with."

Some things do get better with time, in 1971 Macbeth might have gotten away with it, and have become a presidential candidate!
