From the New York Times, a liberal writes a book about Terri. (he takes time to bash Delay, et al too).

Do the hospices like Woodside which did in Terri really want to identify themselves with clowns? Here are some snippets from The Miami Herald:
But the dissenting artists say the mass-produced figurines are overly commercial and hackneyed. Sarasota's plan is made worse, they believe, because the figures in question would be clowns, which they say would cheapen a city that bills itself as the ``cultural coast.''
Plus, they noted, there are children and adults who harbor coulrophobia -- a serious fear of clowns.
''The clown phobia thing is huge, I had no idea. There are people who just plum hate the images of clowns,'' said Virginia Hoffman, a sculptor and chair of Sarasota's Public Art Committee. ``I'm concerned about fallout. What if there are protests by clowns haters, or people who want to vandalize clown statues?''

Anyone ever notice that it mentions Terri being a beloved wife only? Nothing about being a beloved daughter, sister, or aunt. I guess I was so mortified by the other stuff Michael put on there that I didn't catch that the first dozen times I'd looked at it.
