Terri's dead; Bring on the next overblown media event!

Well, I suspected this might occur. I mean, Johnnie Cochran died Tuesday. And these kinds of things always come in threes. Although I guess Mrs. Schiavo wasn't so much a "celebrity" as she was a "publicly recognized figure" due to the immense amount of media coverage her life/death story has received. Ironic that she ultimately never knew the extent of her repute.

Then I saw Fox News' touching tribute to the Right's latest moral crusade. Funny how Fox decided to use a picture of Terri from her Freshman year Spring Break trip. I guess its intended to make everyone feel worse about letting the woman die naturally instead of using machines and a tube to prolong her life and medical bills for another 15 years.

What, you don't recognize Terri Schiavo? But this is the same woman Fox has been showing you the entire time, not some sort of subtle sympathy play by the Network that's "Fair and Balanced"!

Nevertheless, I'm still at a loss as to why our Congress felt the necessity to butt into this business with "Terri's Law." What next? I know a lady who's ex-husband owes her $10K in back child support. Maybe they can enact "Judy's Law" to crack down on deadbeat dads? We certainly don't want any CHILD LEFT BEHIND, you know.

I just don't get where people who insist on human life being "natural" and "according to God's plan" insist on keeping part of someone's brain alive through a feeding tube.

In conclusion, can't we all just get back to the Michael Jackson case? Otherwise, people might start harping on how many Americans have died fighting in Iraq or god forbid we start asking our Congress to pay attention to Social Security and Welfare reform again.
