Sunday Night Wind Down

for a race that I don't have a horse in, it sure is taking up a lot of my time

So anyway Jebeezus, just make it stop already, OK? Did I say that out loud before?

The original title to this post was "What is Truth?" or something on that order. There's a whole big stinkin' story here, you'll have to bear with me.

Easter being a "family" pseudo-holiday, I had the chance to delve into how TheOtherSide thinks this afternoon. Then I started drinking. Heavily.

You see, I was told that I am Wrong.Wrong.Wrong.

NO, Scott Peterson Michael Schiavo does NOT have a $2,000,000 life insurance policy on Terri. That POOR MAN, he's DONE EVERYTHING HE COULD to HELP her.

"But what about the fact that she has not had an MRI or any of the other diagnostic tests that would help determine her condition?" I was foolish enough to ask.

THAT'S ALL JUST A PACK OF LIES BEING SPREAD BY THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL, YOU STUPID IDIOT. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND NOW IT'S TIME TO JUST LET HER GO.

"But (I asked meekly) if you willingly starved a dog to death, you would go to Federal Pound You In The Ass Prison; I mean, if you're going to euthanize, then euthanize. Don't tourture the poor woman."

IT'S ALL HER OWN FAULT ANYWAY (AND THOSE NUT-JOB PARENT'S OF HERS). SHE WAS BUOLIMIC ANYWAY; DELIBERATELY STARVING HER SELF. THAT'S WHY SHE'S BRAIN DAMAGED. HOW HORRID HER PARENTS MUST BE, WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER TO DRIVE HER TO BOULIMIA? I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT HER FATHER IS SOME KIND OF ASHSOLE BUSINESSMAN.

"Ah, the Internet (as I search for common ground), you've been reading up on this case on the Internet?"

I HAVE A SITE THAT I GO TO EVERY DAY; THEY'VE GOT ALL THE FACTS, THE COURT DOCUMENTS........

"What's the URL?"

WHAT?

"What is the URL? The address? You know: http://www.something.com?"

OH, I DON'T KNOW; I HAVE IT BOOKMARKED

"Who is behind the site? Who is putting up the facts?

WELL IT SURE THE FCUK IS NOT FOX NEWS CHANNEL

And on and on it went.

How I yearn for the Truth. The Truth. Not opinion, not spin: The Truth. The Truth is out there, but I doubt that we'll ever be privy to it.
