I read and hear about the family of Terri Schiavo struggling to allow her to keep on living, and I can only join my faith and hope with theirs in this quest.

Her parents are sure that she is not in the comatose vegetative state that some would want us to believe she is in. They believe this on the basis of what they see and live every time they are with her.

You bet, truss! Word is getting out big time.

Michael mentioned on Larry King Live there was no insurance policy on Terri (but no one asked that question of him). How hard would it be for Judy (his girlfriend) to have a policy on Terri and keep it hidden?

If Jodi does have such a policy and it is of non-trivial size (e.g. over $10K or so) insurance investigators should be all over it if she or Michael tries to collect. One of the major requirement of life insurance is that either the person buying the insurance or the beneficiary have an "insurable interest" in the insured party. Unless Michael met Jodi before Terri's collapse, there is no way Michael or anyone should have an insurable interest in Terri beyond reasonable funeral expenses.

Thank you.

Has anyone printed a picture of Michael's mistress?

I've yet to see one.
