If You Have a Family Fight, Please Call the Networks

They'll apparently put you RIGHT on television like they did with the Schindlers tonight. This way you can try to embarrass and humiliate the other person in your family to giving into whatever you want, even if you're all but selling tickets to the circus around your dying loved one's bed.

No. I'm frankly pretty relieved Terri isn't in the custody of her parents.

And if you're listening to MSNBC tonight, we're heard right wingnuts tell us that laws will be enacted to make sure every spouse in this country must pass a morality test and that living wills will be rendered invalid.

But you also heard Bush's spokesperson tell us that Mr. Bush acted on the Schiavo case the same way he's voted before: always for life. Even if you invalidate the 100+ inmates who died under his governorship, he was the one to sign into a state and federal law medical facilities getting the right to kill your life support if you can't pay. No cognitive dissonance there.
