And they say WE love death?
Holy Shroud of Turin! Just channel-surfed a bit tonight and if it isn't poor Terry Schiavo it's the maybe/maybe-not imminent death of the Pope.

WE love death? Sean Dickwad Hannity has been broadcasting outside the hospice for days?

And WE love death?

Larry King is on a deathapalooza this week, including an interview with that respected ethicist Pat Boone.

And WE love death?

Joe Scarborough, riffin' for days on Terri (despite getting the snot beat out of him}.

And WE love death?

And it ain't just t.v. I channel flipped to the rightwing radio talk shows today and Glen Beck must be just whacko-crazy in love with death because that's all he wanted to talk about. Including an absolutely hysterical I-wish-I-had-taped-it segue from outrage about Terri to a commercial for Purina puppy food. Something about how they use mother's milk in their chow (not sure if it was a puppy mother or a real woman's milk) and from this he drew some kind of bizarro parallel to Terri's mother and how we all love our dogs. I am not making this up. You can't MAKE this stuff up.

But, anyway, you know who really, REALLY loves death? Vultures, that's who. Media vultures. They absolutely love death, because it sells Cialis, and Sierra Mist and Ditech.com.

And Purina Puppy Chow.

1. Sorry, I'm still stuck on the puppy milk.
Do you suppose they have little puppy milking machines? With itty-bitty little suction cups?

But the rest of your post is right on - sorry just can't . . . stop . . . thinking . . .

8. I know, I know. . .
I almost drove off the road. Really, Beck was on this serious, serious rant but HAD to do this commercial and was trying to somehow connect 'em or ease into it or something. And he got all tied up and it got weirder and weirder. Frankly, I was just hoping he meant doggy mother's milk and not human.

Although I really didn't wanna know.

5. Death is Life

Up is down, black is white, war is peace ...

You know the drill.

6. No kidding. And don't forget about
the 100,000 dead Iraqis, and the 18,000 Americans who die every year because they don't have health insurance, and the 24,000 people around the world who died of starvation TODAY, and the 8,500 who died from AIDS.

Who exactly isn't doing anything about those problems?? Who's ignoring those people? Who deliberately lied to start a war that killed people?? That's right: THE CULTURE OF DEATH: REPUKES.

9. The media seems to love these high profile death watches - now the Pope
CNN is on in the other room and I'm too lazy to go and change it but all they are speaking of is Schiavo and the Pope. Now they have the death watch for him.

The media does a great jon promoting a "culture of life" don't they?
