Speaking of lawyers…
Like a freak storm of tornadoes wreaking havoc on trailer parks, a similar outbreak of Creationism “teach the controversy” has erupted in school boards across the state of Florida. The St. Petersburg Times is now reporting that David C. Gibbs III, the lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo and her parents, has jumped into the fray by writing a legal memo that claims, in a nutshell, that evolution is a religion. Wow! What a novel idea Mr. Gibbs! We’ve never heard that one before.
While Church Burnin’ Ebola Boys everywhere are hoping that there’s another “Waterloo in Dover” scenario (a scenario in which William Dembski actually testifies this time), I have another dream. The Terri Schiavo case brought out some Grade-A kooks *cough*Rick Santorum*cough*, but my all-time favorite byproduct of the Schiavo affair is Destination Dawn’s “They Killed You Terri!” song and music video. It’s the next best thing to having a Shaggs reunion. I’ll be closely watching Destination Dawn in the hopes that a soothing ballad detailing the heroics of Florida’s cdesign proponentsists is in the works.
Here’s Destination Dawn’s “They Killed You Terri!”, brought to you by Rosary Films.

I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

I will never play this thing again. I would rather listen to “My Friend Foot-Foot” on an endless loop.
One of my favorite stories to come of the stupidity surrounding the Terri Schiavo case was of the man who tried to break into the hospital with a glass of water. He figured that Terri needed water and figured all those nasty people prevented her from drinking during the last decade. I bet if he got to her and poured the water in Terri’s mouth, Terri would have drowned.

Aw, c’mon, Janine… that video is like a musical version of a Chick tract. Perhaps I should have added a “This video can’t be unwatched” disclaimer? I appreciate really bad music, and that song has it all. I especially like the horrid double-tracking of the vocals.
I remember the guy with the glass of water. There was also the guy who put a $250,000 bounty on Michael Schiavo and the judge presiding over the case.
There’s nothing like a hot-button issue to bring the kooks out of the woodwork.
