Should Congress Like, Maybe, Google the Constitution?

Washington, DC - In an effort to live to contradict himself by contradicting
himself by supporting life, but only life outside the great state of Texas,
and only when it suits him politically, this week President Bush signed a
bill into law in an effort to prolong a severely brain damaged woman's life.
Thus, he kind of did a flip-flop on that "right to die law" he signed while
Governor of Texas.  Come, on, it's still not as bad as a poke in the eye
with a sharp stick! Anyhoo.Congress was also spending our hard-earned dough
on high 'n' mighty hearings about doping ball players leaving us to wonder,
"hey, is this an election year?" And "will we be able to make it snow, via a
made-up phony curse, on opening day of baseball season again this year?" 

 Well, I know the idea of having Republican Senator Bill Frist, who
specialized in healthcare policy at Princeton while in med school, who can't
seem to help provide any national healthcare policy for his constituents,
yet still feels free to decide my fate, is a huge selling point for my
having a living will. A living will will surely save you from a bill passed
by a Bill and signed by a pill. 

 I suppose any investigation into baseball players doping with THG, the once
undetectable steroid, that now seems more important to Congress to
investigate than even a rapidly approaching Earth-bound asteroid, can only
be a windfall for Tom Delay. At least as far as putting a delay, and a real
timely one at that, into the investigation of his corruption. Anyway, that's
just what I tell my friend Jose.
 
 We're just pleased they decided to switch to messing with people that have
no lives, instead of messing with those of us who are still in the sunset of
our lives. Seriously. If we have to watch George W. on the cable news try
and sell that snake oil that is his plan to save Social Security one more
time, we were going to bomb the White House with the overflow that has
resulted from our having to switch to using the generic brand of Depends. 

 I would have thought the fake nose and fright wig would be a dead giveaway,
but in case it's not, I'm a clown. People who choose "clown" as a personal
vocation are not typically huge fans of reality. That's also why I'm a
regular reader of the Skew. In hindsight, if I wasn't so married to this Max
Factor to cover my skin grafts after that bizarre curling iron mishap, I
guess I could have probably run for Congress.

Take care, Moscow.
