Hey,
Looking forward to getting to getting together with some of the other Florida SGers tonight.
I am starting to wonder what kind of circus the funeral for this Schiavo woman will be like. If there are already people flopping around on the ground outside the hospice, it seems like the chances for a dignified funeral will be absolutely nil.
Here is my favorite quote so far on the situation:
"The case is full of great ironies. A large part of Terri's hospice costs are paid by Medicaid, a program that the administration and conservatives in Congress would sharply reduce. Some of her other expenses have been covered by the million-dollar proceeds of a malpractice suit - the kind of suit that President Bush has fought to scale back."
- NPR commentator Daniel Schorr
It is sad. There are no winners in this story, but there are more losers by the second.

Was nice meeting you last night, was glad you got to come out! Thanks for coming! I had a blast and I hope you did too. Hope to see you and the rest of the crowd at future SGFL events too
