Hobble Your Ass to the "OFF" Button

My friend told me that he was watching "Scarborough Country" the other day while laid up after a minor surgery. Let's forget for a minute that there are lots of other media out there, so this was more than coincidence. Think also of the evocative title of the show, modeled as it is on the hokey, "manly" Marlborough ads of the 70s--is Joe Scarborough, that intern-killing scumbag, trying to indelibly link tobacco companies, the purveyors of physical death, to Fox, CNN, etc., the purveyors of mental death?

In any case, Killer Joe was talking to some liberals about Terri "Bulimia Caused My Heart Attack" Schiavo (don't hear much about that, do you? I guess we want our bitches skinny more than we want them alive), and Killer Joe made a point of contradicting someone who said that Schiavo had been taken off "life support". Over and over, my source says, Scarborough repeated his opinion that feeding tubes are not life support. Finally, a very irritated liberal said something along the lines of: "OK, Joe, then if we take out the tube and she dies, what do we call it?!?"

Beats me. "Life support"?

Jesus, everything should be this easy. Now stop watching that goddamn show!!
