(Satire) In a retrospective reversal of sorts, Scott Ott describes the last hours of Michael Schiavo as he nears his long awaited nirvana after seven traumatic years of ordeal being deprived of the death of his wife...
(2005-03-29) — Attorney George Felos today said that his client, Michael Schiavo, entered the 11th day of depriving his wife of food and water looking peaceful and 'as beautiful as I've seen him in years.'
'Death by dehydration is not the awful specter that so-called 'pro-lifers' have portrayed it to be,' said Mr. Felos as he stood outside of Terri Schiavo's Florida hospice. 'I was actually in the room with the Schiavos. Michael looked very peaceful. He looked calm. I saw no evidence of any bodily discomfort whatsoever, even though he's not receiving morphine.'
'As Terri gets closer to death,' Mr. Felos added, 'her husband's face has actually taken on an almost euphoric appearance.'" - Scott Ott / ScrappleFace
All eyes (and cameras) will be on the family reunion after Terri passes. The autopsy and cremation services planned should make it to prime time. It's rumored that FOX Network and Trump Industries are picking up the rights to the new reality TV show. The Schiavo - Schindler Family Feud. Where for one year the "loving" families are forced to live next door to each other in a typical suburban setting while being filmed by inconspicuous TV camera crews. Join the weekly excitement and share in the intrigue as they lob verbal pleasantries at each other and exchange small arms fire during a typical Memorial day BBQ. Each episode ends with a boardroom meeting at the "hospice" where an "activist" judge sentences a family member to either a forced feeding with a Corpak Low-Profile Gastrostomy Device (LPGD) or a 3 hr. morphine drip of their choosing. — ZZB

I suspect satire is a very misunderstood communication medium. I was wondering about the cryptic nature of your comment and came across the telepathy piece that seemed to rattle some cages last Friday... My goodness! Wish I had seen it before I posted my piece. I suspect that was what you were refering to.
I hope folks here realize that I was commenting with satire on a satire and in turn taking a shot at the insane media frenzy over this case! I was stunned today that the cable networks have reporters on the air counting down to the hours and minutes just how long this poor soul has been alive since her feeding tube was removed. Jesse Jackson is now in the act and the media circus is probably just getting started for another round.
From my perspective the TV media is beginning to turn this case, and issue, into what is beginning to look and feel like a reality TV show searching desperatly for checkout counter tabloid entertainment value. Thanks for the heads up... Hope this did not offend anyone's sensitivites.

No kidding. This is not news, although the death will be. What astounds me is the attention paid to the "news conferences" to those who step in front of a camera. Half those interlopers could not pull a coherent and accurate statement out of their...

I think this whole case is outlandish. This should not have been a national issue. This is an issue between a family who couldn't have 15yrs of seeing her get worst everyday, could not let go. Many American around the world have feeding tubes which are taken out. This woman was like this for 15yrs with no improvement. Her family should have just let her go in a more dignified way. The American Public just used this woman as a mortar for there cause and its sickening.
