Anniversary Reminder
If my info is correct, one year ago today Teri Schiavo officially died.
So that none of us repeat her mistake, I am including a basic "living will" in this post. I figure my liberal following, and any moderate republicans would want one. I figure that's a good 80% of the population. Then there is the 10% that don't give a damn, and the 10% that thought Teri having seizures at the blinking christmas lights meant she could walk and talk just like you and me, but her husband was drugging her, regardless of what modern to primative science said.
Well, here's the living will:
I, __________________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors only interested in running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

You forgot to mention Guinness. For Guinness is not beer; it is a special entity, unique in being.
It's like Anselm said. Guinness is "that beer than which no beer greater can be conceived."
If I were less drunk, I would have translated that back into Latin for you.
anne - me and that list... about 5 working days.
Jose & Froyd - Agreed
Lisa - glad I could provide assistance for your living will needs. That will be $9.95, thank you, drive thru.
noe - You're welcome
alex - while guiness is a damn fine beer, I cannot rate it higher than "Darklord" which is a russian imperial stout, brewed at Three Floyd's Brewary.
