I just heard this doctor today call into the Glenn Beck show. But, oddly, Beck, a big supporter of Terri's cause, stopped the conversation when the doctor wouldn't go further about what his report said. Then Beck apologized to his listeners for having the doctor on. He said he just didn't trust something about the guy, that the warning lights were flashing.

Don't know what all that was about...?

Here's an interesting story.

The execution was halted late Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Terry Means in Fort Worth.

Means was acting on an appeal from Staley's lawyer who argued the convicted killer is mentally incompetent and should not be put to death.

"Judge Means' order was that nobody's ever heard this guy's competency question," attorney Jack Strickland said.



the convicted killer is mentally incompetent and should not be put to death.

Terri is being put to death because she is mentally incompetent.

Dr. William Hammesfahr, nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work in medicine,

Can you provide proof of this? There's no mention in the nomination database at nobelprize.org of him ever being nominated.

But why listen to a Nobel Prize dude, when that bigamist "Is that b*tch still alive" phony malractice suit con-artist husband wants Terri dead, dead, dead, dead?

I think the President should spare this woman via an Executive Order or Presidential Pardon/Clemency. I damn sure would if I held the office.

More than anything else, the Terri Schindler story is the death of the mainstream (broadcast) media; they've failed completely in covering the landmark event of the year -- not because of the conventional drama of armies on the march, but because they have no language and emotion for communicating this story. It's not about ideology; it is about compassion. The story is not so much about Terri -- as it is about the different responses to the facts, and what people regard as the facts, from their own experiences and understanding of life. The subject herself is almost the perfect Rohrschach ink blot. It's ultimately not about Terri -- but about everybody else.

The best the mainstream media can come up with is their bogus polls, "As you may already know..." What a presumption; we don't know, and the more one knows, the less one could say that it is merely a matter of a right to die issue; it is a right to die versus a right to live -- and which should trump which. Apparently to a lot of liberals, the right to die should trump the right to live only in the case of human beings but should be inviolable in the case of anything else -- even trumping the right of any other species over that of a human, so confused are they, so determined to be "right." It's not about rights or who is right. It is about what is human.

The richness in the discussion of this is where the new media of interaction vastly surpasses their laughable polling feedback which is already so biased in their design and intent. The death of Terri Schindler was the death of the mainstream media to be a viable, credible part of American life. To the end, they insisted on telling the people, vastly more intelligent, informed and compassionate than they are, what to think and how empty it was to be them. They had nothing worth learning about -- to be a better human being.

Dr. William Hammesfahr, nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work in medicine,"""

I keep hearing/reading that statement. My question: Who nominated him? What does it meand to be nominated for a Nobel Prize? Can anyone send in a nomination. I'm always suspicious at bios or resumes that gild the lilly and imply "honors" that aren't clearly spelled out.
