Come one, come all to the greatest little side show on earth.

Come see the men in suits polish their medical diagnosis from a distance skills. Come hear the hypocrites who refuse medical care to people capable of thinking, feeling and reacting while they lavish care on someone who can't and call it family values and morality. Come hear them cut our veteran's access to medical care while they squander it on one person. Come hear indirect accusations of the slowest murder in the history of mankind. After all, its taken him 15 years to do the dirty deed. Come hear our senators and representatives potentially condemn the rest of us to the same fate, should we ever be as unfortunate as Terri.

In the meantime, the war continues to fade into the background in spite of daily loss of life. Bush doesn't pay for anything that isn't directly connected to the war. Our rights continue to be attacked. Gas prices continue to rise. And in spite of what they say, our economy continues to go down except for the stockmarket, which continues to drool at the thought of getting an influx of social security money.

Wasn't it P.T. Barnum who said "there's one born every minute"?

2. Do you write for The Utne Reader or one of the other digests?. . .

That's a remarkably concise statement of our present situation, here at the Vernal Equinox. I just hope we'll have something more satisfying to discuss at the Solstice.

3. PT Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute."

I got a new name for this idiot. The flim-flam man.

That was very entertaining cm. I needed a laugh.

4. Great post,

and the sentiments are best summed up by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., quoted in my local newspaper this morning, who "rejected the notion that elected lawmakers could accurately diagnose her condition.
"'The caption tonight ought to be: We're not doctors, we just play them on C-SPAN,' he said."

5. Watch as the Schwindlers get an entire nation to watch them strut

It's sickening is what it is!

6. Born Again Pagan

I've heard that referred to as "born again and again and again".
