We've secretly replaced the Schindler's daughter...

Congress at work.

For the sake of posterity, I want to document the law Congress recently passed:

An Act for the relief of the parents of Theresa Marie Schiavo"
[notice it's not a relief for Theresa. Just her parents.]

"United States District Court for the Middle District of Forida shall have jurisdiction to hear, determine, and render judgement on a suit or claim by or on behalf of Theresa Marie Schiavo for the alleged violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo under the Constitution or laws of the United States relating to the witholding or withdrawal of food fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain life."

Good grief. No big government there. Nope. None! Let's just disregard our judicial system because, gosh darn it, they just aren't telling us what conservatives want to hear. Since when did "Checks and Balances" ever mean "Bow to rabid special interest will"?

I am so angry that special treatment is being given to a vegetable. Why are these people so hot to defend beings that cannot disagree with them?

Maybe their next Secret Evil Plan is to pass a law saying that come each election year, a census shall be taken and a ballot will be marked with votes for a straight Republican ticket for each warmed-over corpse they've got plugged into the machines. After all, they'd vote Republican out of gratitude if they were alive, because everyone knows that every single person who has a near-death experience becomes a scary big-haired Jesus person, hallelujah, and as such has a moral imperative to vote for God's Own Party.

Sick pigfucking bastards. I hate the Republican leaders almost as much as I hate the baby-rapers.

I was thrown out of a car, fractured my skull, suffered a severe head injury, suffered seizures, there's about a 3-week gap in my memory, and although my hair's often pretty big, I for damn sure am not a Jesus person, much less a Republican. (Jury's still out on scary though) I'm just saying.

Definitely pigfuckers. :P

Well, yeah, I was being sarcastic. But I could see a Republican thinking that up -- these are, after all, the same people who try to pass laws with phrases such as "the secretary of homeland security shall have the power to suspend all laws at his sole discretion."

Yeah, I knew you were being sarcastic, and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried something like that. I'm just saying I wouldn't be able to sit still for that sort of thing.

Isn't this how they've been doing elections in Texas? I hear a lot of former death row inmates there vote Republican...
