Still Waiting

I don't know about anyone else, but I am still waiting for Michael Schiavo to make a correction on his blog about what "actually" took place in Colorado when he went there (to the debate) to supposedly ask Congresswoman Musgrave one question and she and her staff supposedly tried to have him removed. He called it, "My unreal night in Colorado - with radio link" (Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 08:05:14 PM PST). I'll say (from what I read) that it was his "unreal night".

As I said before in "Standing up and Admitting a Mistake: Not Schiavo's Style?",  if four uniformed officers were around my seat, I would have some idea of what was going on. I certainly wouldn't be sitting in "duh mode" to only be told later of what took place right there around me, as Michael suggests he was. If Michael's account is realistic -- his response and reaction is not. Nor is his response appropriate now that he has "learned" what he was "allegedly told" is not what took place. One would think if he can't get the words out that he was mistaken, he could at least have removed the inaccurate entry from his blog.

He has done neither.

I'm also still waiting to read about, "Also, maybe tomorrow I'll post about my election-eve rally with Bill Clinton in Florida." (A real election impact by Michael Schiavo, Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:40:34 AM PST).  Indeed, I would love to read that story by Michael, since I read it was not possible. Not if he was implying it was the Bill Clinton that is the former President of the United States. Will be interesting to see what he says about that if he ever does.

If Michael couldn't get it straight what happened at the Musgrave debate or even if he spent election-eve with former President Bill Clinton -- do you suppose he might have gotten Terri Schiavo's wishes mixed-up as well? (He does claim to have a bad memory from what I read.) Makes one wonder. At least makes me wonder. Whatever...

I'm still waiting for the corrections if not the explanations!

Yes, it is a dead link. Those darned computers fail at the worst time!

How simple and elegant is the principle:

"As a society, we have no right to decide Terri's fate; ours is an obligation to do her no harm."

Two years ago today...

..........................

According to today’s Miami Herald, Jeb Bush ordered state cops to grab Terri Schiavo at a point during the judicial proceedings at which, due to Florida’s automatic stay law, such a move would arguably have been if not legal at least not in direct violation of a court order. The automatic stay law suspends a judge’s order when the state appeals it. (Judge Greer reimposed his order within a few hours.)

Local cops apparently didn’t get the word, or didn’t want to go along with the sneaky move, and were prepared to stand off the state cops.

Participants in the high-stakes test of wills, who spoke with The Herald on the condition of anonymity, said they believed the standoff could ultimately have led to a constitutional crisis and a confrontation between dueling lawmen.

“There were two sets of law enforcement officers facing off, waiting for the other to blink,” said one official with knowledge of Thursday morning’s activities.

In jest, one official said local police discussed “whether we had enough officers to hold off the National Guard.”

OK. We dodged that bullet. But kindly remind me how many microns separate us from banana republics with warring paramilitary forces.

"If the case of poor Terri Schiavo has taught me anything it is how utterly loathsome liberals are."

I wonder if she'd mind being my tagline for a while? It's love.

Two years ago today was Holy Saturday. There was a large cross laying on the ground, just the Cross, not the Crucifix. A group of Protestants had made a place for it, dug a temporary hole so the nearly full size Cross could stand. I found it laying on the ground that Saturday morning and my friend and I carried it back to where it is to be propped up. The hole was gone. Cops descended upon us and warned us not to try to set it up again.

We decided then to just prop it up on the ground and hold it. It was heavy so difficult to prop up over time, but volunteers crowded around and propped it up and held it the rest of the time, the empty Cross.

Memorable tag line!

The Democrats never quit. Now they are creating a whole new voting block after succeeding to create humans as 100% sheep. Seriously, this playing of God is scary...

Thread from wagglebee...

Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.

The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

Now scientists create a sheep that's 15% human

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LIVING WILL!!

Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

She got up, unplugged the TV and then threw out my beer.

[EternalVigilance]

That was a completely bogus report. I talked to LEOs on the scene, in fact with the man in charge, and asked him explicitly if there was any truth to it. He laughed at the idea, and assured me that if any representative of the Governor showed up with a simple order from the Governor, they would comply immediately and gladly.

(How much truth can one stuff into 100 characters?)

[8mmMauser]

Can be solved using taglinear programming.

Good morning! The robins have returned to this niche of the thawing north. I believe this is a harbinger of spring and it makes me happy because I only get to use the word "harbinger" once a year :-)

Per the tagline, I caught a news item within the week that Cuba was quietly rotting, and that much of its elegant pre-Castro architecture was threatened.

Duh.

I guess some liberal reporter stopped lying long enough to open his eyes and see what what was before his eyes! I have in the past seen reports of Havana's legendary collection of 1950s autos, i.e., pre-Castro (again). Somehow, their owners keep them in service; not so easy with ancient cars. The article I read did not raise the question that screamed for an answer -- why aren't there any newer cars? Nearby Nassau is a place built on poor coral rock with none of Cuba's wonderful soil and natural resources. Nassau is full of new cars and heavy traffic. Cuba has none. Yet under the evil Batista, before Communism was imposed, Cuba had the third-best economy in the Western Hemisphere and was teeming with good cars. Do we have a lesson here?

Read my tagline. Castro came in, Cuba came to a dead halt.

Easter Sunday at Pinellas Park

It is a long read but fairly accurate in describing the atmosphere as all waited helplessly, most knowing no more help would come, no more heroes, no Cavalry riding to the rescue...

.............................

The legal battle over the life of Terri Schiavo may have ended, but a thick, fervent crowd remains in the makeshift encampment outside the Woodside Hospice House here.

In numbers, they were not as great on Easter as they were on the previous three days, when the legal and public relations battle came to its bitter climax. But like soup simmered for hours, what remains is a concentrated stock of the angriest and most devoted, the prayerful and the publicity hungry.

''No, we're not going to go home,'' said Bill Tierney, a young daughter at his side. ''Terri is not dead until she's dead.''

Mr. Tierney, a former military intelligence officer in Iraq who works as a translator and investigator for private companies, cried as he talked about watching the Schiavo spectacle on television and feeling the utter need to be at the hospice.

~Snip~

Only about two dozen people turned up for a dawn Easter service outside the hospice. But by early afternoon, as the muggy heat intensified, the crowd had swelled to over 100, still far fewer than in previous days, but louder, angrier, more demonstrative.

An emotional cluster of worshipers applauded the news late Sunday afternoon that Ms. Schiavo had received communion -- a few drops of wine on her tongue -- and been given Catholic last rites for a second time.

Interviews with more than three dozen protesters found people who had come came from across the country, though most lived within an hour's drive of the hospice. The farther they had traveled, the more likely they were to express a deep religious need to be here. Tales of personal miracles, like Mr. Tierney's, were not uncommon. The street the hospice is on is one of countless dead ends in the Florida coastal sprawl, a narrow strip of concrete leading off a broad thoroughfare lined by convenience stores, strip malls and fast-food franchises. On the corner is a bank. Beyond that, a few small office buildings, the hospice, then a school, a trailer park and a riot of foliage.

Good morning. This morning it was difficult to focus in remembrance of two years ago.

We don't have many harbingers here but some rain and slush.


And wonderful breadbasket of Africa, Rhodesia, became one of the most impoverished countries in the world, now almost a wasteland under the communist leadership of Mugabe.

It is almost hard to believe the extreme of wealth before and poverty today.


What is it about insanity? "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results..." That is the hallmark of communism as it is the hallmark of liberalism, socialism, and warmism.

Haleigh Poutre minor update...(And DSS is charged with attempted murder? Maybe not.)

...........................

SPRINGFIELD - A final pretrial hearing for the stepfather of Haleigh Poutre, the Westfield girl who suffered brain injury in an alleged beating in 2005, was rescheduled from Wednesday to April 2 in Hampden Superior Court at the request of lawyers for both sides.

The trial date is April 18 for Jason D. Strickland, 33, of Westfield who is free on $5,000 bail and was in court on Wednesday for the motion to change the hearing date.

He is charged with two counts of assault and battery on a child with substantial bodily injury, three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and one of assault and battery with the victim in all counts being his stepdaughter, Haleigh Poutre.

Haleigh, 12, now recuperating in a Boston rehabilitation center for children, was hospitalized on Sept. 11, 2005, for a brain injury, bruises, burns and cuts. Strickland and his wife, Haleigh's adoptive mother Holli A. Strickland, were both arrested. Holli Strickland died on Sept. 22, 2005, in West Springfield. Police believe she was killed by her grandmother in a murder-suicide.

Margaret Sanger would be proud. Wagglebee thread on Planned Parenthood Pill Push. Thanks, narses.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The nation's largest abortion business has launched a new campaign to push the morning after pill on every American community.

Pro-life advocates oppose the use of the drug because it fails to lower abortion rates and can lead to risky sexual behavior by teenagers. It may also cause an abortion in some circumstances.

Thanks for the note of good cheer. I needed that. There aren't many harbingers here yet unless one counts crows and they were here all winter, not harbinging at all. But without your cheerful reminder I would have been a poor harbingee today.

A prize skunk with a luxurious batch of white fur on his back showed up on the deck, though, and I await, 8mm locked and loaded in the event that pesky bear returns and does more serious than gobbling up suet.
