Dia de las Muertas

So, not only did Terri Schiavo finally pass away, but she did it on the 10th anniversary of Selena's death. Selena, notable less for the quality of her music than her importance as an icon to the Mexican-American community, is probably not as well-known outside the border states, but here in Texas, she's big business.

Which is good news, of a sort, for the Schivao family. Maybe now they can look forward to tasteful silkscreen artwork or hologram cards of their daughter, as well.

The only question remaining is whether or not March 31 will henceforth be known as the "Feast of Mediocre Tejano Music" or "Hug Someone Unclear on the Concept of Checks and Balances Day." Pity Schiavo couldn't have held out until tomorrow, than everyone could've had fun thinking Terri had actually been saved at the 11th hour and spirited away to live on an island with Elvis, Jim Morrison, and D.B. Cooper.

Paul's still dead, though.

Selena was hot. That is all.
