It came from BloombergPolitics:

The purpose of this diary is not to elicit sympathy. I am looking for advice. How to deal with end of life issues, money management, health insurance and ALS. I will frame the current state, then sit back and listen.

We all remember the story of Terri Schiavo, a brain-dead woman from Florida whose husband, Michael, was mired in controversy over whether her feeding tube could be removed fifteen years after she collapsed and fell unconscious. Politico’s Michael Kruse interviewed Mr. Sciavo recently. The article refreshes our memory about the details of his fight to fulfill his wife’s wishes to not keep her in a vegetative state. It also paints a very clear picture of what former Florida Governor Jeb Bush thinks, how he operates and the lengths he’s willing to go to make a point. Schiavo calls Jeb! “a vindictive, untrustworthy coward.”
Winter weather makes me think about soul warming, hearty dishes and Super Bowl party prep makes me search for dishes that are easy to share and reheat.
Good morning 99percenters!
