Planetarium - politics/music/culture/smarts: Are They Brain-Damaged Themselves?

The headline over at the Times' website right now:

House Members Hold Sunday Night Session on Schiavo Bill

Are they fucking kidding? I'm so glad Congress could could schedule an emergency session on the weekend, not to do anything vaguely productive, but so that they can pander to the idiots who won't let this woman's poor husband pull the feeding tube that's been the only thing keeping her alive for FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS. Don't get me wrong, I understand the sentiment, but this is ridiculously stupid. Like Elian Gonzalez-level stupid. Roaringly stupid. To quote the West Wing's White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman, "You know, I'm so sick of Congress I could vomit."
