You heard it here first

What did I say? All those nice people who donated money and time to the Terri Shiavo case are getting thanked by what? Having their names and addresses sold to a marketing company by the very people they supported. What a shitty-ass, cold-hearted, corporate thing to do. Oh, but don't get them wrong, they only sold the list "for Terri."

Hey, um, you might not have heard, but TERRI'S DEAD.

Never have I seen such blatant disregard for humanity. If anyone doubted that Terri's parents didn't give a fig about their daughter and only wanted the attention her case brought, here you go. Gotta stay in the spotlight, folks. Gotta get that media airspace. The next time you see these poor, grieving, heart-broken parents, give them a big, loud "Boooooooo!"

Oh yeah.. speaking of their "Culture of Life" (those are Sarcasm Quotes)

Here's a clip from a WaPo article which I found here:

Sen. John Cornyn said yesterday that recent examples of courthouse violence may be linked to public anger over judges who make politically charged decisions without being held accountable.

In a Senate floor speech in which he sharply criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling on the death penalty, Cornyn (R-Tex.) -- a former Texas Supreme Court justice and member of the Judiciary Committee -- said Americans are growing increasingly frustrated by what he describes as activist jurists

...

Cornyn, who spoke in a nearly empty chamber, did not specify cases of violence against judges. Two fatal episodes made headlines this year, although authorities said the motives appeared to be personal, not political. In Chicago, a man fatally shot the husband and mother of a federal judge who had ruled against him in a medical malpractice suit. And in Atlanta last month, a man broke away from a deputy and fatally shot four people, including the judge presiding over his rape trial.

yep.... Culture of Life (Hey wasn't that in the Lion King?!)
