- Good Morning:
-
- Well folks, I have been up all night and finally here
is some good news. I am tired of reading bad news. The President of the
United States and members of United States Congress have finally decide
that saving Terri Schindler-Schiavo's life is more important then fishing
or playing golf. Hallelujah!
-
- It is Sunday morning, (Palm Sunday, at that), and they
are back on the job to finish some very important business. Maybe, they
received a telephone from the Vatican or a visit from the Vatican Ambassador,
who knows. I can guarantee that some telephone lines were very hot yesterday.
-
- Just maybe the Creator gave them all nightmare or bad
dreams Friday night for not finishing a job that urgently was needing to
be completed. It is a shame that Terri had to be put through this torture,
once again. However, I know right now there are some very angry Congressmen
and Congresswomen and a President for having their vacations interrupted
because of some JERKWATER JUDGE, defying a Congressional ORDER. At this
point, if Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo had any sense, whatsoever, they
both be on the next flight to Cuba, because they will pay for that lost
vacation time.
-
- Also, I suspect that Jeb had long talk with is brother
yesterday or Friday night. Let's see if some JERKWATER Judge and Attorney
wish to tell the President of the United States to take a hike, when the
U. S. Marshals come. Telling that Congressional Attorney to take a hike
on Friday was really dumb and Judge Greer's thumbing his nose at the Vatican,
now, that was even dumber. I suspect that his tenure is about over.
-
- My hats off to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, congratulations
sir; you, sir, have proved to be a true leader. Now, if Congress will
get down to business and stop the petite squabbling, Terri should have
breakfast by tomorrow morning. Only, time will tell.
-
- Hallelujah!
- Sir David-Andrew.

- CRAWFORD, Texas - President
Bush is changing his schedule to return to the White House on Sunday to
be in place to sign emergency legislation that would shift the case of
a brain-damaged Florida woman to federal courts, the White House said Saturday.
-
- "Everyone recognizes that time is important here,"
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "This is about defending
life."
-
- After Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on Friday,
members of Congress worked out a deal to pass legislation to allow federal
courts to decide the 41-year-old woman's fate and in the hopes of supporters
of the woman's parents restore the tube that was keeping her alive. Top

-
- The House and Senate hoped to act on the legislation
Sunday, so Bush decided he needed to be in Washington so he could immediately
sign the bill, McClellan said.
-
- "The president intends to sign legislation as quickly
as possible once it is passed," McClellan said.
-
- During previous travels, Bush has had legislation flown
to him overnight by military plane for his signature. But in this case,
McClellan said that the fact that a woman's life is at stake made it necessary
for him to travel to the bill.
-
- "Terri Schiavo's feeding tube has been removed and
we stand with all those who are working to defend her life," he said.
-
- Bush was spending the weekend at his ranch in Crawford,
Texas, arriving there Friday night after a day traveling in Florida to
pitch his plans to overhaul Social Security.
-
- On Monday, he was to leave from Texas for a two-day trip
in the West to continue pitching his Social Security proposals. Now, McClellan
said, he would likely keep his Social Security appearances but depart for
them from Washington instead.
-
- On Wednesday, Bush is due to host Mexican President Vicente
Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin at his ranch, and there was
no indication that would change.
-
- He was then to spend the rest of the Easter week before
returning to Washington March 28.
-
- McClellan said that Bush had not talked with any members
of Congress Saturday about the case, but was kept apprised by his staff.
He dismissed any suggestion that there were any political considerations
at work, either in the quick and aggressive congressional action or the
president's hurried return to the White House.
