The Terri Factor in Kansas, an opinion...

The 109th Congress met for the fewest days in Congressional history. It spent weeks staging theatrical debates about Terry Schiavo and gay marriage, but paid no mind to the monstrous national debt, our growing trade imbalance or our mounting military and diplomatic problems.

Editorial: Congress failing... Congress not meeting obligations, responsibilities

The Terri Factor and the media, from Thomas Sowell on National Review Online...

Remember how absolutely certain the mainstream media were that Terri Schiavo was for all practical purposes already dead because she had been classified as being in a "vegetative" state?

Just recently a woman in a "vegetative" state was discovered by scientists to be able to respond to statements. But have you heard anything about it, much less anything about its relevance to Terri Schiavo?

Media Takes a Side... We know who Diane wants to win.

>> At its most basic level, Congress is charged with passing laws.

Sheesh. We have too many laws already, thousands of them, all of them stealing our freedom and eating out our substance. Congress should be repealing them wholesale, not passing new ones.
