Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees that in his absence there has been a big spat of posting concerning Terri Schiavo. Many have chosen to respond to the thoughtful posts of the Smallholder on this topic. And the AP news wire shows that a federal judge is determining if the feeding tube should be replaced.

Your Maximum Leader hopes to write something more thoughtful on this subject later today. Until then allow him to go on the record with his feelings of total disgust at our Federal Government in this matter. While this is a grave and serious issue, it is a grave and serious issue for the state of Florida and the families involved. It is not, under any stretch of the imagination a federal matter.

Carry on.
