Wake up George
If George Bush and congress want to be so intimately involved in my life and my decisions; if they want to be involved in my family decisions, then they had better start paying me rent. Besides rent, the litter box needs to be cleaned (what else is new?) and its their turn to clean it.
Want to get involved in my personal decisions? Okay, lets wake up the president in the night when I'm not sure whether it's a light days oval pad with wings or a jumbo Tampax moment. I want congress to vote on whether it should be a night of wanton sex or an early to bed snuggle with no action night. If congress votes for sex, then what? Missionary or Oral? French maid or naughty school girl?
I think Bush should come over and look at the tread on my tires to evaluate if it's safe for me to drive to another Bagel breakfast with friends. Maybe he should do a background check on my friends - never mind, he's probably already done that.
Should I get Distemper and Lyme disease shots for my dogs? This is a personal decision, some people think they are extraneous and could be hurtful others think they are necessary. Hell I don't know - I need to check with the president!
Would congress please vote on the efficacy of Fish Oil pills? I'm taking them now and I'm not sure - are they good for me or not? Let's convene congress.
Should my old cat be allowed out doors? She's pretty old to be roaming around outside where other animals could attack her or she could be trapped in someone's garage. What do you think George? Let the cat out and be happy or keep her trapped inside and miserable.
My mother-in-law is rather frail but still lives alone. George, please come visit her and bring your Repub friends to see if our decision that yes, she's with it enough to live alone, is correct. Wake up George I've got more questions you need to answer!
Now some really big stuff. Mister President...should I or should I not prune the Red Miniature Weeping Split-leaf Willow tree in the front yard? Do I need an oil change? What should I cook for dinner? Should my sister get a divorce? Do I need a manicure?
Wake up George, I've got questions that need answers now!
Wake up George.

You raise interesting questions about government penetrating our personal lives. I would actually start watching c-span to see how congress voted on the night of wanton sex vs. the no action snuggle
I like how you say " government penetrating our personal lives" - next it will be government penetrating our physical bodies -- oh that's right, they've already done that!
I'd say congress would probably vote for the wanton sex...since they are probably a wantin' some wanton sex themselves.
I agree with this blog completely. I do not want the government second guessing my decisions for my family. I think this is ridiculous and wrong. thanks for listening
Good post. My first one, back in Sept.2004, mentioned the hapless Terri Schiavo. Every time I think that she would soon be out of the state she is in the hypocrites come up with another trick to prolong her misery. A fellow blogger had this to say on 3/18/05:
"Everyday children, women and men die, or their lives are at risk, due to the lack of health care, medical malpractice, poverty, neglect, and the other essentials of life. Where is today's congress then? Passing laws to make sure that nothing can be done about it. You figure out why."

Welcome Musafir!
Thanks for stopping by -- Glad we agree -- I'd like to take a poll right now to find out how many people would like to live or choose to live like Terri Shiavo is now. Let's see a raise of hands.
No-one is my guess. But there are plenty of people who want *her* to live like that...
I wouldn't call it living! She's like frankenstein's monster being forced to eat and breath against her own bodies wishes. It is horrific, to say the least. If there is any argument for the living will, this is it!
Another point...see Doc NOS' blog: she is getting more than nutrition through that tube - she's getting things like antibiotics to keep her there..when she really isn't there any more.
Would I want to live like Terry? Absolutely NOT. HOWEVER, had I been in her situation, I'm NOT sure I would want to die. That's the truth.
Irina, of the magnificent brain -- you of all people surprise me with your comment.
I know for sure I could not stand the thought of never having another one.
I exist more in thought than in body and for me -- that woman's life is long gone and she now is a character in other another person's novel.
Do you know how many people the government could get involved with re feeding tubes etc?
A new requirement for the presidency or congress, I guess, has to be a MD degree.
Hi, Mary. You answered my first question in your blog title (not the MB I know! And not my cousin, either). A smart and opinionated blogger, you are! I'll visit again, and send some friends. Very clever, "pointy" wake-up call to George.
susie -- welcome to my blog and thanks for the compliments. Coming from someone as clever as you, they mean twice as much.
