Mikey is back, ready to help the far left with his expertise. Meanwhile, Fidel Castro is not yet available to lead cheers.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — The curtains are still drawn tight at Michael Schiavo’s home on a quiet cul-de-sac here, and in some ways he remains as private and unknowable as when his wife Terri was the focus of a fervent national debate last year about life and death.

T'wit, this is keeping in tone with your earlier posts...

Walker says doctors have a special name for patients with terminal diseases, whose families refuse to issue a "do not resuscitate" order. They call them "futility cases."

Snip

WALKER: And what do we do when we have a clear-cut case of medical futility, where we have families saying, "no, we're not going to make them DNR, we can't stop the ventilator, no, we don't want the hospice, do everything." So that's a tough, tough problem. It's very demoralizing for the caregivers, because in some cases, they feel like they're really torturing individuals. So what's the answer there?

The most famous such case, of course, was Terri Schiavo. Her parents wanted her kept alive at all costs; while her husband wanted her feeding tube removed.

I commend your strength, determination and courage, if not your good sense, in actually reading passages from the New York Times -- and about Michael Schiavo! If you could bottle writing like this, you could sell it as oven cleaner.

I need more coffee fortification before I'm going to look at this one :-)

Mikey has such a neat job at the Pinellas County Sheriff's Dept. He has more personal days than a down on their luck homeless person.

I hope someone is investigating how he rakes in $70K per year, is a supervisor but I thought supervisors were supposed to actually go to work so they could supervise.

Why'd they hire him anyway? Seems like it was a payoff for something.

The curtains are drawn. I hope Jodi's okay.

Handy Chart re: Gallagher or Crist. Look at how liberal Crist really is:
