RIP Terri

Terri Schiavo is dead, and the Crawford Ranch Boys are not taking this one lightly. You can count on more government intervention, more oppression, more angry Republican rhetoric and, of course, more Witch Hunting.

This is, after all, the time of Witch Hunts and vengeance in America. First on the list will be that poor, befuddled judge in Atlanta, Stanley F. Birch, Jr., who thought someone cared in this cold, crazy place. He actually raised his eyes from the ground and looked the Devil in the face.

Mr. DeLay has a special place for him. But first, Tom will mourn for a woman he never knew. Then he will eat well and sleep like a King, and awake tomorrow, to the joy of seeking venegeance. The world he creates in Terri Schiavo’s name, in the gentle memory of Terri that Tom DeLay holds so dear, will be a shop of horrors for those of us who believe in freedom. Have a great day!
