Glennderoy's Amblings With Autopsies

Somehow the death of Terri Schiavo is all about him.

She was a real live person who was put to death for the crime of getting her brains scrambled.
Nobody smirk anymore at the notion of Eskimos putting old people out on ice floes, Greeks exposing deformed or unwanted babies on hillsides, or Romans tossing infants onto dungheaps -- our thin veneer of civilization has worn through.

UPDATE:
From the statement by the Schindler family:

First, the IME's report confirms Terri's physical condition and disability. We all knew Terri was seriously brain-injured before the IME report. This is nothing new. The IME's report also confirms that TERRI WAS NOT TERMINAL. THAT TERRI HAD NO LIVING WILL, THAT TERRI HAD A STRONG HEART, and THAT TERRI WAS BRUTALLY DEHYDRATED TO DEATH.

Second, our family would encourage the media to remember that this case was allegedly about "Terri's choice." There is absolutely no evidence that Terri wanted to die of dehydration, or that she believed that that the level of one's disability gives anyone the moral and legal right to end another's life.

Exactly.

I hadn't seen the Harry Potter "Chamber" movie until yesterday.

Man was I laughing when Branagh's character handed out questions for the class to answer and the kid said, "These questions are all about him."

I was listening to it on tape and all I could think was "God, this guy reminds me of Instapundit." Heh.
