Do The Math
By Andrew Dobbs
Something Frank Cafferty said on CNN piqued my curiosity, and I did a little research. Check this out.
March 20, 2005: "(Terri) Schiavo's feeding tube was disconnected about 1:45 p.m. Friday (March 19), George Felos, the attorney for her husband, told reporters."
March 20, 2005: "The House is to meet at 1 p.m. today and the Senate at 2 p.m." Congress had to be called into emergency session as they were on vacation.
That was then. This is now.
"Both the House and Senate will be back at work by tomorrow (September 2) to begin work on a package of federal disaster aid for areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Western Florida affected by Hurricane Katrina, the aide said."
The Hurricane, according to Wikipedia, hit Louisiana on Monday August 29 at 10 AM.
So for those playing along at home, Congress came into emergency session to address Terri Schiavo's feeding tube 23 hours and 15 minutes after it was removed. They will take four days just to get started on developing a relief package for Katrina.
Good to know that the "culture of life" is going strong...
