Florida Speaker of the House Johnnie Byrd is going to present for vote, at a special session of the Florida Legislature, a law to pass a temporary moratorium on starvation and dehydration deaths in Florida. This law would save Terri Schiavo's life.

I have been somewhat out of the loop since I don't have my Dish set up yet. I have to rely on the internet to get my news, which is ok. Actually the last couple of days have been kinda slow news days. I reallly don't have much to opine on.
I did realize, however, while ripping all my CDs to add to my iPod that I love polkas.

The Dems are in trouble. I think they know it. The strongest point of their upcoming campaigns against George Bush was going to be the relative weakness of the economy. They know they can't beat him on foreign affairs. They have no alternative to what President Bush had done.

Time for Captian Obvious to show his head: We pay too much in taxes.
I know we can all agree on that, but what I didn't even realize until I started budgeting for my new job is actually how much we pay. With my new job, I am an independent contractor. I have no taxes withheld, and I pay my taxes quarterly.

Well, it's almost here. Two days to go until I leave this place and head to a better place. Tomorrow is my last day of work at my current job. I move on to bigger things. Better things. A land of milk and honey.

From CNN Reports
A lefty lawyer in a robe by the name of George W. Greer has ordered the feeding tube of Terri Schiavo removed at the behest of her husband, Michael Schiavo.
Terri Schiavo has a profound cognitive disability and has been in a semi-vegetative state since 1990. Though otherwise healthy, Terri cannot talk, walk, or move.

Some wacky protesters in Denver are promising to block an annual Columbus day parade because, using usual liberal catch phrases, they equate Christopher Columbus to Hitler and such. They claim the parade is divisive and evil.

From From The Age
In a previous column, I noted how the Vatican has come out against condom use in African countries by saying that condoms do nothing to protect against AIDS, therefore putting millions in third world countries at risk.

From UK Guardian report.
The Roman Catholic church has had many problems over the past few years. Allegations of abuse of young boys by pedophile priests was rocked the world. While these allegations of abuse are horrible, the way the Vatican has acted has been even more deplorable.
When these allegations surfaced, Pope John Paul did virtually nothing. If anything he Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738816.post-1065704056093912142003-10-09T08:54:00.000-04:002003-10-09T09:10:19.233-04:00A big mess

The Democrats are in trouble. Californians overwhelmingly voted to out Gray Davis, and insert Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor of California. With 50% of the vote he was the overwhelming winner, and if you combine the votes for Arnold and McClintock, about 60% of Californians voted for a Republican. In a state like California that is astonishing.

Why when you ask the majority of people who they voted for in a certain election, they get all defensive.
I remember asking a guy I worked with once on election day who he voted for. He got somewhat angry that I would ask, and said it's none of my business.
