Kewl tat. I bet it works...

Wohlford, 80, has a living will hanging on the side of her refrigerator. She also has told family members of her wishes should she become incapacitated. Now she hopes she has made it perfectly clear.

Wohlford, a retired nurse and great-grandmother, had the words "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed on her chest in February.

The lady is obviously a liberal Democrat. It would help save this beautiful country if all liberal Democrats had DO NOT RESUSCITATE tattooed on the chests and heinies and foreheads. It is their civic duty to remove themselves from voter rolls.

During Holy Week last year at Pinellas Park, I remember Randall Terry running up and asking urgently which was the Fifth Station of the Cross, something we Catholics follow. I was surprised, wondered why he would ask. Here, then is the rest of the story:

Frames reveal key points in Terry’s life.

In one framed newspaper article, Roe v. Wade’s Norma McCorvey hugs Terry during his first run for political office — a failed attempt to run for the House of Representatives in New York. In another article, written after his move to Florida, Terry stands reflectively looking out at the Atlantic Ocean, pondering his next move.

That move, joining the Catholic Church, came unexpectedly this Lent after what Terry describes as a 20-year search for Truth. That journey is evident from the mementos and books found in the home. A copy of Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma sits on the bathroom counter. Luther, Aquinas, Chesterton, Belloc and the early Church Fathers line the bookshelves. A photograph of Terry with Pope John Paul II sits in the home’s entryway, as well as in his library.

Terry is as surprised as anyone by where his journey has led.

........

Snip

........

“We didn’t stand much of a chance [of not becoming Catholic], with Pope John Paul II and Terri Schiavo praying for us,” said Randall’s wife Andrea, pointing to the photograph of Randall meeting the Pope.

Some medical and legal experts doubt that Wohlford's tattoo would be binding in the emergency room or in court.

Why wouldn't it be binding? Of course she could have a change of heart in the ER, but so could those who have legal documents too.

Yes, but was it notarized?
