I love it!
Very similar to the recent Yahoo news headline ... "Pope in grave condition". Really? No sh!t, Sherlock.

Gotta love ambiguous headlines. Ambiguities are so much more likely in headlines, though, since they love to omit, say, all verbs (which is very unnatural speech). Your brain sees it and says "Pow, a verb! wOOt! I'll take it!"

If true that Terri Schiavo was cremated, a very sad event. The last chance for Michael to show compassion.

I think congress should have an emergency session to discuss putting a feeding tube into the pile of ashes.

Exactly, how is she going to be resurrected for Judgement Day now that she's ashes?  That evil evil man and those evil evil liberals in the media and the courts...

IMO he was the most compassionate of the lot. The others were essentially gratifying themselves. They even testified that they would not honor Terri's wishes even if they had been in writing.
I've spread the ashes of a loved one with my bare hands. It was what they wanted and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

With a little bit of water and some glue/cement they might be able to use the ashes to make a sculpture ressembling here.
