Dog bites man or man bites dog?

A conservative group in Missouri is picking up the backing of the Tea Party and Joe The Plumber in its quest to stop the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and other animal rights groups from passing "radical" anti-puppy mill legislation.



The measure, which can be read in full here, is called Proposition B or the "Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act." It aims to help eliminate the "3000 puppy mills" in Missouri that constitute "30% of all puppy mills in the U.S.," according to Michael Markarian, the Chief Operating Officer of the HSUS.

2. It's just about time for us to say "rabbit season" and see how they respond.
Why does Joe the plumber's opinion matter, at all? Why is it reported?

3. So they hate puppies too
It figures. What a bunch of cartoon characters, if someone made them up as characters in a book it would never get published, too ridiculous.

5. Just read about this on Drudge Retort. This is sickening.
So much for decency and conservative "values". I bet a lot of these Teabaggers would defend the FCC's policy against using words like F and S on broadcast media. But then again...what's more important to the Tea Party drones is the right to control everyone else than the rights of workers, women, children, animals, etc.
