Dog Fight

Laura Bush should attend a dogfight during her visit to Afghanistan. It would be good for her to see, and would perhaps provide some ideas on how to sharpen the point of Conservative blood lust. Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld may be mean and cold, but even they lack the sheer violent nature of an Afghan dog trained to kill. She may even want to referee, as officials at the older-than-old competition between canines are there to make sure all dogs fight, all the time. She should be able to apply lessons of persistence learned to the Terri Schiavo case, and make poor Terri � emancipated by years of tug-of-war between parents and husband � get back on that tube and fight for the right.

No good dog is out of it until the main artery spurts.

Of course, Laura knows this � and as she wings toward the veil-shrouded women so to show them what a real Christian Woman should look and act like, there�s no reason why she can�t weigh in on the Terri Schiavo tragedy.

Yes � it is a tragedy, because no one should be starved to death, least of all because the money designated for her treatment has gone to our very own fighting-lust dogs. The politicians and lawyers have the blood scent now, and they have gathered around, tugging and tearing at the carcass of a family�s misery, eating political capital and airtime and all the things so much more important to us, in our world. Terri Schiavo is dying a horrid death because of a family fight, kids are shooting up Minnesota schools, there�s a porn freak in the Boy Scouts, and Queen Laura is off to the land of poppies and dead dogs.

God Bless her.
