Thankfully, it appears that the judicial branch is not, in fact, the executive and legislative branch’s bitch. With any luck, Terry Schaivo will die in peace and the bloated sack that is Tom DeLay can go back to worrying about his inevitable demise.
I was going to post about this Tuesday night, but I was interrupted by a call from The Wife informing me that the entire downstairs of our house had become a lake. I’ll go into details some other time, but I’m going to be in insurance/remodeling hell for the next month or so, assuming we can afford this little setback.
Anyway, it makes me sick to see politicians, the media and someone’s own family make a spectacle out of someone who’s too sick or too young to care for themselves. The Daily Show nailed Monday night. I can only hope that Lisa Rein posts the video if you missed it. I won’t rehash the whole thing, but I’ll dump a flurry of links that I think are good.

Things to take away from all this:
- Bill Frist, a heart surgeon who’s never met Terry Schiavo, can out-diagnose neurologists who have had time to examine her
- Tom DeLay is an opportunistic, bloated pigfucker trying to use Terry Schiavo to push some sort of universal twisted pro-life agenda and at the same time take the attention away from the multiple investigations into his campaign shenanigans.
- George Bush is a hypocritical pigfucker who presided over more executions than anyone cares to count and yet claims to want to protect life at any cost. He’s also the one who signed a bill in Texas allowing the courts to pull the plug on someone despite the families wishes, even if it’s just because they can’t pay for the medical expense of keeping the family member alive. Can somebody please up date the definition of hypocrite and add his picture? Please?
