not to toot my own horn, but SarahK has the first part of her account of the Bad Example Family (&Friends) Reunion up.
ooh! have them do battle, and watch Condi kick some evil butt! (Frank says i have to give a hat tip to Michelle Malkin.)
also, this is a local thing for us here in Florida but of national interest. Tuning Spork has much-needed coverage on the Terry Schiavo case. her horrible husband keeps trying to kill her, because he’s a selfish b**tard who cares only about himself. Tuning Spork also has several good links related to the case.
First!
… Let Terry Go …
OMG … Condie and Hillary have the same outfit!
Second?
I guess I’ll join this party – third. That Schiavo thing is getting even more sad the longer they keep fighting it, instead of making one decision and sticking to it.
Thanks for giving some attention to the Terri case, there is still hope. There is legislation pending that could protect Terri.
If you’re not sure why her life is worth saving, watch this:
Terri
and her Dad
All the links I’ve seen about this Schiavo case have seemed like normal advocacy-group stuff(aka, rediculously biased). Now, it’s certainly possible that the case actually is that clear-cut, but given that that doesn’t happen often(and that if it did, I’d probably hear more about it), I’m going to ask if anyone has a link that talks about this from an unbiased(or even oppositely-biased perspective). I don’t care how sick you find the perspective, I’m just interested in seeing something with a different line so I can figure out what the actual facts of the case are for myself.
Not to disbelieve the best-looking IMAO blogger, of course, but it just seems to me like there has to be something else to it that the advocacy groups aren’t saying.
I say they buy the husband off and let her live – he only wants the money anyway. I’ll even donate to the cause.
Seventh!
I agree that the husband is a d!ck and I personally think he wants the money involved, and that he shouldn’t get it.
That said, Terry Schiavo died years ago. Modern Science is all that has kept her body alive this long. She should be allowed to die, and her husband should be beaten with a bat.
There. Now everyone is happy.
Alsadius: “what the actual facts of the case are for myself. ”
Facts? Like that’s going to happen … facts are the one thing that will not be reported because then people can’t go beating on their favorite drums. Personally, with all the causes in the world that could use some attention, it irks me that so much attention is poured into this one … I guess it’s like the case of 100’s of puppies at the pound get ignored, but put one HumInt story about a puppy in the papers and evryone wants to adopt THAT one …. sigh.
Fact: Terry Shiavo is alive.
Fact: Her husband does not want her to stay that way.
Fact: Her parents do.
Alsadius, are you for life or death? What other facts would you allow to pollute your thinking on this? Life. Death. Those are the FACTS.
I don’t consider my thinking to be polluted here, I just acknowledge that there are some cases where it’s reasonable to just let a person die, and I’m trying to figure out whether this is one of those or not. The husband seems to be making the case that this is one of those, and while I wouldn’t want to touch the man with a ten-foot pole if even a tenth of what I’ve heard about him is true, what I’ve heard has also come from groups with a very obvious bias, and I don’t trust those without some kind of outside source, as a general rule – it’s too easy to get caught up in utter BS if you take obvious boosterism at face value without fact-checking yourself. And that’s all I’m doing here, wondering if anyone has a different viewpoint I can look at to make sure that the opinions I’m being given aren’t total BS, which they can sometimes be.
