Bad News Today

Is it just me or was the paper filled with far too much bad news today?

Terri Shaivo's Options are Running out

Her family has appealed to the Supreme Court but it's almost certain that they will refuse to hear the case. At this point it's a matter of too little, too late.

The family of Terri Schiavo appealed to the Supreme Court last night after being turned down twice yesterday by a federal appeals court, racing against the clock to save her life.

The Florida state Senate defeated a last-minute bill aimed at preventing Mrs. Schiavo's death by starvation and dehydration.
On the one hand I'm worried about the drift towards Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. On the other hand, I'm heartened that so many people recognize the danger and are doing something about it.

Bush Decries Border Project

Ok, I understand that the president cannot come out and endorse the Minuteman Project. But then I read this:

He (Bush) said he would pressure Congress to further loosen immigration law.
We're headed in the wrong direction, folks. But as Michelle Malkin says, aren't the Minutemen simply Undocumented Border Patrol Agents?

Here's how Mexico responds to the Minuteman Project:

Mexico Accused of Abusing it's Illegals

The State Department says that the Mexican government, angry that a thousand American volunteers will begin an Arizona border vigil next month, consistently violates the rights of illegal immigrants crossing its southern border into Mexico.

Many of the illegals in Mexico, who emigrate from Central and South America, complain of "double dangers" of extortion by Mexican authorities and robbery and killings by organized gangs.
Nice. The Mexican government uses our country as their "safety valve" so that they can avoid making reforms at home. They berate us for every little alleged violation of rights of the illegans who come to our country. But heaven forbid that someone attempt to enter their country. I've also read that the Mexican government is pretty tough towards people who enter their country from the south. No surprise, unfortunately.

UN Plans to Reimburse Discredited Ex-Employee

The United Nations yesterday struggled to explain why it will reimburse about $300,000 in legal fees accrued by Benon Sevan, the discredited former administrator of the U.N. oil-for-food program
Another reason why we need John Bolton at the UN.

Sorry, but all this just got me down today.
