And, Amid Applause, the Phoenix Rises...

...or, at least, that's how the story is SUPPOSED to go. The veteran has finished his period of mourning, self-pity, and personal discovery and has returned to dazzle you, the readers, with his sappy rhetoric and substandard vocabulary.

First, the veteran would like to know what the HELL is going on with Democrats fighting amongst themselves? Of course, no body of august delegates of the numbers that Congress holds is going to be in agreement all the time, or even most of the time. Why, though, can't our own side form some sort of united front? For that matter, why can't the Republicans? Could it be that, deep down, they realize the real difference between the parties lies not so much in distinct ideology, but in name and reputation? Congress has accomplished fairly little in the last few years, but now they're really crossing the aisle on several issues; issues such as immigration reform. Are we now seeing the beginning of a cross-split between the parties?

The veteran will have something a bit more substantial cooked up for you all by Sunday (baby steps, and so on...). Today, however, I have an announcement. The veteran will begin blogging, once per week, on a reader-submitted topic. Please send suggestions to modvavet_at_gmail.com. Please note: If your topic is selected for blogging, you will be identified as well as the veteran is able, to give credit where credit is due. If you wish for no recognition, please state so when you email your topic.
