Nurse: Terri Can Eat Normally

From NewsMax.com comes a dynamite summary of the details of Terri Schindler Schiavo's case that people have probably forgotten. It turns out that Terri could be taught to eat normally, and has eaten normally, except that Michael Schiavo refused any therapies of any kind, including that kind of rehabilitation. This also serves as a recent corroboration of an allegation that regular readers have seen me make before: namely that he has called Terri by a name reserved for female dogs and repeatedly asked whether she was dead yet. (Why female dogs should be an insulting metaphor is another issue for another day, but in case any of you don't believe me, read this article for yourselves.)

At last report, Terri's case is now up before a federal judge, according to the law enacted hours ago granting the federal courts jurisdiction in this case.
