TGIF Quick Fix 6 (3/25/05)


APhoto Fix: Pope John Paul II sits in a confession booth for the traditional Good Friday Easter confession in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican today.

The Passion of Terri Schiavo continued this morning, as another federal judge rejected an appeal for life. Sorta reminds me of that innocent fella 2000 years ago who was rushed from one group of judges to the next, from the religious leaders to the Roman officials, to give cover for a predetermined sentence. In one instance, the cry was: "Crucify Him." In this instance, "Starve her to death." For the latest news on Terri, click here.
