Carrying over from comments:

Amen, Lee.

Well it seems like we're going to have a tough time disagreeing. Hmmm... Let's go farther then.

Doesn't the fact that Schiavo got into this condition following years of bullimic purging imply that her "will to live" can't have been all that strong in the first place?

And does it matter who is more ghoulish: the husband or the parents? If we're to follow the rule of law, doesn't that require us to respect the husband's wishes, even if he was having sex with another women in Terri's Hospital bed? Legal guardianship is a pretty important part of the law, and if you're worried about how your husband/wife would behave if you became unable to make your own decisions, then perhaps you should have considered that pre-vows.

So had Easter dinner with my parents yesterday, which was nice. We had a Polish meal, which has been semi-traditional for quite a few years now. It's interesting because we have no real ethnic "identity", as between my parents we encompass every major European ethnic group there is.

For those of you into depressing playwrights and absurdist flash cartoons, here's the best of both worlds.

So I spent several days in Nashville last week, which meant I got to spend a lot of time with Country radio. And while I like country music just fine, I can't stand country radio. I tend to like classic country and alt country, which are the two things are seem to never be played on country radio.

In case there is any doubt, in light of recent media developments, then I will state it now, before God, the Internet, and the Federal Government: Please don't allow me to carry on in a pitiful approximation of "life", just for the sake of it. When I'm gone, let me be gone, and pull the plug.

OK, its been a long time, because of business, laziness and beingoutoftowniness. So with the intellectually lazy shotgun approach of "hrowing thoughts out randomly" that only a college education can provide I will update all at once.

Although, I think he missed an opportunity. He could be taking donations at the same time in favor of grilling. And then saving would have to outpace grilling. Twice as much money. Ah well, brilliant anyway.

I've admired the writing of Aaron Sorkin for quite a while, most notably with the Sports Night series. Like most people, when I saw the ads I had no interest in the show, but once it came on the TV while I was doing something else and I didn't feel like stopping to turn it off. And after that first episode I was hooked.
