Schiavo said that if President Bush and Gov Jeb Bush had seen Terri, they would have "seen nothing."

He would know what "nothing" looks like. Sort of like an empty suit.

Anybody home?

The birth mother of Haleigh Poutre, the brain-damaged girl at the center of an end-of-life debate, is demanding that the state Department of Social Services let her speak publicly about the girl's condition after seeing her in the hospital, her lawyer said yesterday.

Allison Avrett, who gave up custody of Haleigh four years ago, has been allowed by the DSS to visit Haleigh twice a month since September. At that point the 11-year-old girl from Westfield, near Springfield, was allegedly beaten into a coma by her adoptive mother and stepfather.

Murphy said it was ''unconscionable" that Avrett cannot tell the public about Haleigh when DSS Commissioner Harry Spence and his staff have publicly said, as recently as last week, that Haleigh was more alert and even picking up toys on command after having been declared ''virtually brain dead" by doctors.

May the wickedness of evil men roll back upon themselves; may they not prosper; may they soon be scattered as chaff in the wind, in Jesus' name, Amen. In God's timetable, I pray for patience.
