Dying of Neglect

(1)

Well, obviously numbering made the previous session somewhat more intelligible. I don't bother to correct this stuff, so the numbers help.

Tomorrow (saturday) is supposed to be a nice day in Denver, but the Terri Schiavo case is just too juicy to pass up. So I will repent tomorrow, on a nice day (they think).

Poor Terri. Now the US Congress is getting into the act. A Senate Health Committee has issued her a subpoena to appear before them later this month to answer questions regarding her qualifications to die. There is some doubt, apparently. Her husband was also 'invited.'

This case has been all over the news recently because in accordance with a judicial order her feeding tube was disconnected today. If all goes as expected, Terri will finally die of neglect in one or two weeks.

(Being gassed here at 1906l. VS is now running at 1/3 power. It could be another ugly night.)
