Living just a few miles from Tampa/St. Pete I have braced myself for a long drawn out series of media extravaganza regarding the Schindler/Shiavo feud staring Randle Terry freshly regurgitated from the slim pits of hell, Jessie Jackson doing his best to get our minds and memories off his beautifully orchestrated Jim Baker impersonation and that lowest of the low Frank Pavone the so called priest of the Schindler family that makes the pedophile priests Richard Lavigne, Paul Shanley and the now dead John Geoghan seem like saints, I am almost relieved to hear that Pope John Paul II is taking the worlds attention away from this repulsive personal tragedy.

Maybe now these so called “good Christians” that have chosen to commandeer the parking lot of a hospice without so much as a second thought for the 65 dying patients within will crawl back into the holes where they belong and take their damaged offspring with them.

We here in the Tampa area had to go through this bullshit three years ago when the ultimate imbecile’s idiot brother tried to get the Florida supreme court to over rule the lower court decision to allow Terry’s husband to finally end her torment by taking her off life support. Now after three grueling years and thousands of tax payer dollars the poor soul is finally at peace and thanks to the Pope, we may finally be out of our misery as well.

Could it be that some Devine intervention has selected this moment for the Pope to pass over to divert the media away from an already brain dead media frenzy? I am not a Catholic and I certainly never want to be referred to as a Christian like the ones we see so much of today, but I want to go on record as being the first to thank the Blessed Pope for saving me from one more day of the Schindler/Shiavo Shitfest.

Don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for this Pope even though I do not agree with much of his belief, he has been a great leader for the billion plus Catholic people worldwide and has relentlessly strove to bring the religion into the present while maintaining as much of the tradition and teaching as possible. Nor do I fault Michael Shiavo for trying to do what he felt was right for his wife in the horrible condition in which she was forced to exist. It's not even the Schindler family that has caused most of the melodrama and later the vehemence that we have all had to observe, they were just so desperate to save their child that they accepted the advice of several totally iniquitous individuals with personal agendas and no scruples that used the Schindler’s fear and pain for their own advantage. These are the villains and the media has pandered to them like maggots in a carcass.

Pope John Paul II is a great man whose time is near and inevitable. Since he has to go, who could ask for a better time than this?
