Watching MSM tonight reminds me of OJ in the Explorer.
They would have kept the cameras on for years. So now we're watching assholes talk until she dies. It's morbid, disgusting and starting to freak me out. This is a family matter, but the fundies are subjecting us all to this travesty.

I sincerely hope this one moves beyond the bizarre scenario that is playing out. The (corrupt) fundamentilist minority in Congress is trying to take over the Country and they are within reach of making that happen because they hold so much sway in the Media.

I hope this ends soon.

1. Is There Anything Important Happening Somewhere In The World?
Any other concerns? The Economy? War In Iraq? Foreign Relations? Oil Prices? Iran Nuclear Weapons? Oh, and let's not forget SS. It's going to be in a shortfall position in less than 40 years.

2. OK this is TOO weird, but I was just going to post the same thread
I was sitting here about to post "Watching this unfold is like a week long OJ chase.

All dogs and ponies, and a some ghoul.

6. We've sunk to new depths.
We've gone from "all OJ" to all "Schiavo"

Remember how he had a gun and was going to kill himself?

An equal amount of BS was being spouted by the media. The difference is that this case may have tremendous import on our lives and our kids lives.

12. Wish I was watching the NHL playoffs instead Hockeymom!
(From a former HockeyDad) Never had time to pay much attention when I was at the rink.

16. Hockey?
I'm not sure who the biggest bunch of Losers are.

Our Government?

NHL Owners & Players?

Mainstream Media?

17. NHL fans lost this one.
Lots of losers to go around though. The old chant: "Potvin sucks" is now:"Betteman Sucks!"

4. i just turned it off - the biggest circle jerk I've ever seen
Too weird. The fundies can't even begin to keep their stories straight. Sometimes its that the medical evidence is inconclusive. THen when they're asked if more tests were done (MRI, PET Scan) and confirmed the PVS diagnosis would they support disconnecting the feeding tube...uhhh, nope. Why, because its not Terri's will. But the court found that it was. Well, there should be another court review. And if that court found it was Terri's will should the tube be disconnected. Uh, nope. Why, because the medical diagnosis is wrong. And around and around we go.....

5. Yeah, it's a lot like that
At least they're not allowed to go into her room.

Well, I'm glad we're not in a war or anything...oh wait, well they just don't feel the need to talk about that.

7. I agree. I haven't seen this many freaks
and hacks (that are probably being paid by the right) come out of the woodwork since Monica.
Some of the people that are on these shows are obviously so full of shit. One of the guests on Larry King changed her story three times, almost as is she were being coached off camera.
Did anyone see the "monk" that was on Nancy Grace's show last night? That guy had to be wearing a leftover Halloweeen costume. Just spewing as he went too. She of course, sided with the Schindlers and said she wanted to be kept alive no matter what.

9. May I suggest QVC?
Much classier than Home Shopping Network.

Very mind numbing and NEVER political. All the crap you don't need and fun hosts to boot!

11. I bought a lovely cast iron 5 qt. French oven
from QVC that I absolutely love. I use it all the time. I bought it during the "In The Kitchen With Bob" show.
