So I’m at work today and this is going to be the nicest day of the year so far. We’ve got almost all of the snow melted and I’d say damn near a 70 degree reading outside. The only problem with all that is I’m stuck at work with a bad fever. Spring fever. So while I’m slaving away on the warmest day so far this year, I’ve got these asshole customers coming in the store telling me how nice it is. You sick bastards, do you tell diabetics how sweet the candy is too? Do you tell cripples how fun walking is? Do you tell ugly people how good sex is? You’re an evil bastard and you need to get out of my face with all that “nice weather” talk. I’d much rather have you come in and tell me how shitty it is outside and that you wish you had to work because it’s currently raining frogs. Of course that would be a sign of the apocalypse. Not the raining frogs part, but the customers actually saying something that didn’t piss me off part.
Speaking of pissing me off, every time I turn on the TV I get shown this shit down in Florida some more. You know, I swear that Florida is the seventh layer of Hell. From the kids having kidney failure from the petting zoos, to the little girl getting killed, to the many hurricanes hitting last year to the teachers screwing their students and now Jesse Jackson trying to resurrect his career fighting this battle for Terry Schaivo. His career is colder than Mary Kate Olsen’s dinner plate. So Jesse is down in Florida trying to give his career a much needed boost for the same reason everyone else is there. Television coverage.
Let’s break this down from my viewpoint first. The husband wants her dead partially because somewhere deep down he does want her suffering to end. Of course there is also that whole insurance or settlement that I believe I heard was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million dollars. I’m sure that is part of the plan as well. The parents just don’t want to let go of their daughter although I personally think that if she was going to wake up, she would have already. As far as I’m concerned, this is a family fight that should not have gone any farther than a court in Florida.
I’ve already stated what I think of the people that are standing outside of the hospice singing their songs and doing their prayer circles. We all know that if the cameras weren’t there, neither would the protesters. Now, let’s get to the government. Anyone above the Florida government should not be sticking their noses in this. That means the White House should keep out of it and concentrate on other things, like maybe the war we are fighting. I was reading today that Laura Bush is glad that the government stepped in like they did because this is really a matter of life and death that they should be involved in. In fact, she said this: “I just feel like the federal government has to be involved, it is a life issue that really does require government to be involved.” Well I think I have a solution to all of this right now. Maybe they should enlist Terry into the armed forces and then our federal government won’t give a shit if she dies.
