The infamous Pooses for Peace had several floats in this year's Mardi Gras parade. Cats wearing tiaras were seen throwing pink and purple beads to the crowds. On another float, Dude the Bird Dog danced with a drag queen dressed as Liza Minelli. The Bite Patrol marched beside each float wearing their trademark black leather jackets.

Unconfirmed sources have reported the cats left the festivities early so that they could monitor the FISA hearings today in the Senate. Bite Patrol Brigades are on stand by. The only hope is that their pet humans will call their Senators once again to remind them to vote for NO immunity for the telecom companies that have spied on them. Spookes-poose Zevo Calamari issued a warning statement to the Senate " Either vote in favor of the rights of the USA citizens by voting NO to immunity to these big corporations or prepare to be bit! This time we shall show no mercy!"

Special forces led my Jedi Nubi wan Kenobi will be on the campaign trail today protecting Presidential hopeful Cheysuli. No word on whether they will be at today's Senate brawl session.
