rock the boat, don't rock the boat johnny.

Later, referring to Isakson's "rock the boat" commercial jingle, Day needled, "When you rock the boat to the left, rock the boat to the right and then rock the boat to the left, you don't get anywhere. . . I want to be the senator that turns this boat in the right direction."

What is wrong with talking about and making end of life options with your family--or should everyone just end up like poor Terry Shiavo, on never ending life support, extending the grief of the family, and spending hundreds of thousands to keep someone totally brain dead alive!

She was what, 30 when she went into the coma? How many 30-year olds have living wills?

And, yet, now people think a doctor talking to their mama about it is equivalent to measuring her for a casket.

And seriously, there is no mandate in the works for forcing you to have a living will. Seriously.

And, as I have said before, "Keep me alive at all costs and with all means necessary" is a legitimate advance directive.
