This springs immediately to mind:
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Philippians 3:19 Superb and totally appropriate Scripture reference.

Excellent verse. For me (regarding the Schiavo case & helpless outrage), it's all of Isaiah 40, most specifically vs 23 -
Isaiah 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Comforting to be reminded just Who holds all the power. :)
