Subject: We are "a democracy not a church"

Dear BuzzFlash:

Indeed this nation is "a democracy not a church." That's one mighty important line tucked in your editorial on Terri Schiavo today. The lunatics running the show seem determined to repeat that lie into New Reality ... that this nation was founded on Christianity.

The run-down of hypocrisies in the Schiavo case is impressive. I hadn't heard about the friars.

This line: "of course, Bush loved it when he set the record for executing people in Texas,"
reminded me of something my mom noted on television. Bush spoke about Terri and inappropriately smiled. When he first took office he did that a lot. He really does have some kind of warped jones for death. Remember his mocking of Karla Faye Tucker as she pleaded for her life?

His handlers have probably tried to coach him into looking "grave" and "presidential," but how can you coach someone who is that much of a freak? You can't, but you *can* cover for him. Which is what then happened.

My mom made careful note to watch the clip when the story repeated. The smile had been edited out.
