Feeding Tube Hokey Pokey

[weaktwos]

A shout of joy was heard from the crowd outside the hospice when news of the House bill's passage came. Among those cheering was David Bayly, 45, of Toledo, Ohio: "I'm overjoyed to see the vote and see Terri's life extended by whatever amount God gives her."

You know, I think it's pretty fascinating when Politicians, often regarded as rather immoral, and utilitarian, are mistaken for God. I know, I know, the faithful might say that God's will was being carried out by these Politicians. Well, I think it is just as likely that God removed Terri's feeding tube. Or God found that Terri was in a persistent vegetative state. Why is it that certain religious groups are so crazy about defending the lives of organisms that really don't "live" a fulfulling life? And why is it these groups seem more content to invade other countries and kill innocent children and families for democracy? We'll err on the side of life for a vegetable, but not for people who are islamic and in the Middle East?

And now our tax dollars have been tied up the past week with this? How bad at financial mismanagement can these Republicans be?

I stepped on a bug today.

I will burn eternally in the fiery lakes of Hell itself.

Also, I will probably have to testify before Congress.

Weep for me and my sinning soul.

"testify before Congress"

Is that becoming a new euphemism, much like "taking my morning constitutional"?

Yes.

But you do NOT want to know what it's a euphemism FOR...
