Give Terri a Rest


By Sniffles

So the Schindler family just can't let poor Terri Schiavo rest in peace. And they won't give us any peace, either.

Like the tacky relatives we try to ignore at family reunions, the Schindlers just won't go away. Now they've convinced a Catholic front called "Ave Maria University" to hold a "national mass for Terri's Day." (That would be today.)

Terri's grasping, publicity-hungry brother, Bobby Schindler, convinced AMU founder Thomas Monaghan to hold the event. "It's a prestigious university," Schindler said. (Yeah, right. It's been in existence all of two years.) "Mr. Monaghan is a leader in the pro-life movement and has been very supportive of us," he added.

Mr. Monaghan also is the founder of an equally "prestigious" institution, Domino's Pizza. We cats haven't ordered Domino's for decades, and now you know why.

Well, have at it, guys. Knock yourselves out. Somehow, though, we think that no one at that mass today is going to mention the obvious: That Terri Schiavo's autopsy showed she'd suffered severe and irreversible brain damage. But then again, religious fanatics always ignore the facts. It's so much easier that way.
