"Much has been given" to those Americans at the pinnacle of wealth. So it is only fair that "much will be required" when it comes to helping pay for health insurance for those who can't otherwise afford it.

The lawmakers doing the bidding for Big Agribusiness simply don't get that the American public wants to see all animals treated humanely, including animals raised for food.

Following in the hoofsteps of President Bush's 2006 State of the Union call to fight the creation of "human-animal hybrids", Sen. Sam Brownback this week introduced legislation outlawing "part-human, part-animal creatures, which are created in laboratories, and blur the line between species." The bill has 20 co-sponsors, all but one of them -- Mary Landrieu -- Republicans. Minotaurs, centaurs, mermaids, and satyrs everywhere vowed to vote Democrat. No word on whether Michael Steele plans to woo these diverse human-animal populations with a combination of fried-chicken, potato salad, and young men from Athens (reportedly the Minotaur's favorite). Elsewhere, John McCain delivered the most dizzying quote of the week, spinning Sarah Palin's resignation thusly: "I don't think she quit. I think she changed her priorities."

If the Democrats twist up this bill to make insurance companies and their Republican allies happy, it is end of story for this generation of Dems -- our party will not recover from screwing up health care.

Sadly, the main figures who will likely end up blocking the health care plan are not Republicans, but a small handful of Blue Dog conservative Democrats in the Senate.
