Live and Let Die...Florida style
You know, I swore up and down that I wouldn't say anything about this, but that just blew out the window. Today is day #10 of "No food for you" for Terry Schiavo. At this point we can pretty much all agree that she's going to buy the farm. Who knows, by the time I get done writing this, she may be a goner. Now, before everyone jumps on me and calls me a heartless S.O.B., she's been stuck in bed for 15 years! There's no hope. Right now there's REALLY no hope. That's not what bothers me though. I almost choked on my breakfast this morning when I heard some comments made about the U.S. Constitution. You know, that piece of paper that is pretty much the blueprint for how America is run? It seems everyone down there in "The Sunshine State" thinks the Constitution is as important as a grocery list. Change your mind about the ground beef when you're shopping at Jewel because the price is too high? No problem. Simply cross it off the list and that's the end of it. This morning I saw all these protesters who have nothing better to do than bitch and moan about. . .anything, meet with Shiavo's "family spokesman" as he stepped up to the microphone and went on a rant about George W. and his brother Jeb. See, Jeb is right. He can't do anything to help and neither can George. This moron on TV said that they should forget about about the Constitution and re-insert that feeding tube because having compassion for a suffering human being should override any written law. Ain't that dandy? You know, these people are right. We don't need that stupid piece of paper. I say they should just take it out of that vacuum sealed, temperature and humidity controlled, heavily guarded, and alarmed bullet proof case it's in, cut it into small swatches with scissors and put all the pieces of confetti up for sale on eBay. With all the money that will be made, Social Security won't get tampered with anymore AND whatever's left over can be used to balance the budget! You could be the envy of your neighborhood by putting one of those little stamp sized squares in a frame and hanging it over your bar in your rec room! There must be something funny in the air in Florida because these people are now pissed at George and Jeb because they're not willing to look the other way while that tube is stuck back into that poor woman. GIVE ME A BREAK! I for one, would be very upset if if there was some kind of "Schiavo Amendment" added to the Constitution. . .I struggled for weeks when I was a kid to try and learn it. Matter of fact, it was a requirement. The entire history of the U.S. is a result of that document and they want to put her name on there? What would George Washington, Abe Lincoln, or Richard Nixon (joke) say if they were alive? I think they would be across the street from the protesters throwing rocks and yelling "Pack up your shit and go home and make a grilled cheese sandwich or something!" Come to think of it, that ain't a bad idea.
