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!

“We are from the government and we are here to help...”

Time to run in terror.

[T'wit]

With rare exceptions, I don't watch television. It's like having a spam blocker in life. In discussions about pop culture, I feel both hopelessly left out and insufferably intelligent.

When a complaint like this comes along, I am bemused. What did we expect of the trash merchants at American Idol, uplifting spiritual values? Donations to Heritage Foundation?

[T'wit]

>> Time to run in terror.

Children can't run. Children under the sunken, dead eyes of bureaucrats get starved, burned with cigarettes, pushed down the stairs and beaten into a coma. Then the bureaucrats go to court for permission to kill their ward and sell the organs for a big cash profit.

That is not satire. That is exactly what happened to Haleigh Poutre.

It is hard to imagine a short phrase more berserk than that one.

I got criticized for saying that while I've never seen "American Idol," I understand the premise (it's really nothing more than a prolonged talent show) and have no interest in ever watching it.

Nah, the left NEVER ceases to amaze me with their absurd statements and beliefs.

[8mmMauser]

Bad is good, good is bad.

My own viewing of tv is rather limited, as well, although I do peek at some of the shows dealing with crime, like Dominick Dunne. Shucks I get the news right here on FreeRepublic. Never watched American Idol or any of that stuff, get sick watching most news, turn on Fox from time to time and even then, avoid it mostly.

[T'wit]

>> Dominick Dunne

The same may be a resource in Terri's case if he is told the real story. He certainly is not the kind to swallow the whole long litany of ideological bosh. Neither would he start with preconceived notions and ignore a torrent of facts. I have said for years we need a Columbo looking at this, not another honkbleeping lawyer. Dominick Dunne would be fine.

I have a feeling “duh” mode is Michael’s default setting.

[Scotswife]

“Michael’s supporters are staking their own intellectual reputation on a proven liar”

Anyone staking any kind of reputation on Michael doesn’t have an intellectual bone in their body.

No matter what people think about Terri’s case - one thing that was well established by those who knew Michael best (friends & family) is that he is not the brightest bulb, he is a bully, and he is controlling.

And in this week of the VTech shootings let’s consider that Michael admitted under oath he was prescribed anti-psychotic medicine but was not taking it according to doctor’s orders.

If people really want to snuggle up to him, they are going to get bitten.

[T'wit]

>> those who knew Michael best (friends & family) is that he is not the brightest bulb, he is a bully, and he is controlling.

We had six affidavits, two from ex-girl friends, four from nurses who took care of Terri. All six women knew him up close. They were all to some degree afraid of him. They all painted pretty much the same picture of Michael. The first word that came to all of their lips was "mean." Michael could be "incredibly mean," said Cindy Shook and Trudy Capone both. He was unfailingly mean to Terri after 1992, and used her to be mean to her family. A bully, manipulative, greedy, even a stalker. A bad liar because he sometimes lets the truth slip out, especially if he's on a rant. Certainly he lied about what caused her injuries and certainly he lied about her saying she wanted to die.

>> If people really want to snuggle up to him, they are going to get bitten.

I am holding out hope that Michael will confess. That will bring down all his fellow travelers. I mention this to them from time to time, warn that they are backing a treacherous person, but it doesn't penetrate thick skulls.

Fact is, the whole thing is a house of cards. We could get a confession from a number of people. If just one talks, down would come the house.

[Scotswife]

Did you read Mark Fuhrman’s book?

He wasn’t able to “prove” anything with any certainty.
At the end he described 2 or 3 different scenarios that seemed to be plausible explanations for the night Terri was injured.

The book was really good for understanding the personality and character of Michael.
Even the guys own mother confirmed she was worried he was going to do something hurtful.

Michael will never confess. Never never never.

But character rarely changes without hard work.
Eventually he is going to show everyone what he is like...and stalking this politician is one of those moments.

I cannot imagine what it is like to have him for a husband or a father.

Marissa? Charlie Crist loves spouting the word justice but has no idea its meaning. Poor Marissa. Crist is a secular humanist.

[floriduh voter]

Alberto G. knows all but “he cannot recall” anything.

[floriduh voter]

American Idol new charity funds abortion advocacy groups. It kind of takes the fun out of watching the show that they would go ultra-liberal w/their charitable contributions.

[floriduh voter]

Jeb stopped helping Terri. Crist never did. It’s the Pinellas GOP gang which runs not only Fla but also the usa imo.

>> Did you read Mark Fuhrman’s book?

Yes. I was not very impressed. Or perhaps I should say, I expected better from him. He was in too much of a hurry, did not even wait for the autopsy, did not do deep research. Perhaps he got bad advice from a publisher to be the first on the market with a book about the case. But that's cheap. You can't expect quality work. Diana Lynne's book is far better, imo.

>> Michael will never confess. Never never never.

I agree, he'd rather eat glass, but things happen. He did sin, and if ever he is moved to make peace with God, he has a confession to make. There are other circumstances that might pry a confession out of him a little less gently. One is for somebody else to cave in and start talking, and have Michael and others involved go down like dominoes. Another is, given his violent and manipulative nature, he commits another crime. After that, who knows what would come out?

These discussions keep the heat on the whole rat pack. Who knows what will break :-)

This article by John-Henry Westen gives a bishop's interpretation of the Catholic position on euthanasia. Helloooo Bp. Lynch and Bp.Aymond, got yer ears on??

LONDON, ON, April 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - London Ontario Bishop Ronald Fabbro has issued a statement clarifying the teaching of the Catholic Church on the provision of artificial nutrition and hydration. The issue has been contentious, even in Catholic hospitals, and was raised to international attention with the starvation death of Terri Schiavo in 2005.

"In an address which he delivered on March 20, 2004, Pope John Paul II referred to a particular medical condition called persistent 'vegetative' state (PVS), or post-coma unresponsiveness," said Bishop Fabbro. "In reference to this condition, the pope stated that artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) 'should be considered, in principle, ordinary and proportionate and as such morally obligatory insofar as and until it is seen to have attained its proper finality.'"

Explained the Bishop, "In the case of a PVS patient, then, nutrition and hydration are required as basic care. A PVS patient is not terminally ill, and denying ANH would be an act of killing the patient by dehydration and starvation."

Surprise,surprise...opening the Doors!

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

I think I can help Charlie Crist in his evolving political transformation.

Our recently elected Republican governor keeps finding new ways to embrace his inner DemocratIt's getting hard to keep score.

In just a few months, Crist has become an advocate for restoring civil rights to felons and for establishing paper-trail voting. He has embraced stem cell research and has made an unambiguous call to respond to global warming.

He quotes Robert Kennedy, gives his cellphone number out to Democratic rivals and talks about the need for open government. He even scrapped Florida's state song, citing its racially insensitive lyrics.

Did I mention he's a Republican?

It's no wonder that 71 percent of Democrats in Florida approve of Crist so far, according to a recent poll. And this popularity is bound to spur our governor on to new highs - or new lows, depending on how you look at it.

That would explain the Jim Morrison matter.

Idea couldn't get much higher

Crist's latest populist cause is considering a posthumous pardon for the former lead singer for the Doors. Morrison was convicted for indecent exposure and profanity at a 1969 Miami concert, a concert that led to 30,000 people in Miami to "Rally for Decency."

~Snip~

And that's not even considering the tidbit that Jim Morrison's roommate at Florida State University was George Greer, who would become the judge to authorize the death of Terry Schiavo.

Did I mention that Crist's a Republican?
