The Brink

Well, this morning the Pendulum has managed to defy the laws physics and nature, creeping past the red zone into No Man's Land. Tom DeLay and George W. Bush, in the flurry and flush of what they demand is moral certitude have undone hundreds of years of the Rule of Law. Maybe more, if you go back to the days of the drawing of the Charter. You know, that piece of parchment sitting in Westminster.
This thing, this arguement has been going on for seven years and NOW, after the Mandate (bah!), the idiot fringe decides to get involved? This is a political trip on any face and the Dems, those cowards, don't have the sack to stand up to it, lest they get tossed out of office for "killing" this woman. Jeee Zus.
The Government is now the decision making apparatus for the individual. The Government is now the entity that doesn't just provide the structure in which to live but also dictates exactly HOW to live. In the intervention seen on this bright blue morning in March, the haze of Spring and New Life on the horizon, it is finally crystal clear who is in charge of my life and it ain't me.
But wait. Fuck no. I refuse to accept that sort of rubbish. I am filled with a different kind of spirit then these poseurs of the most lewd and egregious sort.
These walking whited sepulchres, these flagrantly cynical assholes will not be allowed to march all over, and in the process destroy, the American Democracy. Where did Hope and Progress run off to? Fear and well....FEAR will be the order of the day. There is no other standard operating procedure in the halls of congress any more.
The proof is in the pudding: Tom DeLay, in a fit of what can only be termed insanity, actually made a disturbing, obtuse connection between Al Qaeda and the Feeding Tube Removal Frenzy currently gripping the yappers at FoxNews and CNN and Drudge and the rest of the medium vacuous. He called the actions of seven years of litigation and Court to Court bumper pool that resulted in the final decision to release this brain damaged woman from her suffering "Medical Terrorism".
Whoa. Who the hell said anything about Terrorism? Now it's a whole different story. Quick, get the DoHS on the horn! We must immediately detain Mr. Schiavo as an Enemy of the State and hold him indefinitely at Gitmo or maybe even in one of Dick's abandoned bunkers. We can't let this bastard get away. He is far too dangerous to Society.

The future is now, folks, and we are collectively toeing the edge of the cliff.
