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!

Thanks, BB. I noticed The Republican out front again as they always seem to be with news on Haleigh. Take a look at the post below on The Republican. Just out.

[8mmMauser]

Here is something good to see, recognition of a media for its coverage of Haleigh Poutre!

Here is an excerpt:

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

An 11-year-old girl is severely beaten, apparently by her adoptive mother and stepfather. The state moves in court to have her life support disconnected, arguing she is essentially brain-dead after suffering a brain stem injury and a stroke.

Does the public have a right to know the details of the state's involvement?

The Republican went to court last year over just such a case, winning a legal ruling that forced the state Department of Social Services to release its information on Haleigh Poutre, of Westfield, in spite of her protected status as a juvenile.

The decision to make the records public was made by the state Supreme Judicial Court in a case filed by The Republican and later joined by The Boston Globe. The ruling said the public's right to know the details of the case outweighed the privacy issue cited by the DSS.

In recognition of its court battle for public access, The Republican yesterday won the New England Newspaper Association's Morley Piper Award for "Little Girl Lost," the series of published articles that revealed the details of state involvement in the Haleigh Poutre case in the days following her Sept. 11, 2005, assault.

Last fall, The Republican also won first place from the New England Associated Press News Executives Association in the "Right to Know" category for a Feb. 7 article by staff writer Mike Plaisance titled "Documents detail diagnosis of girl in 'right to die' case," which relied on the state documents to show the state's efforts to remove Haleigh from life support.

Here is some news on Haleigh and Rebecca. What is Patrick doing on St. Patrick's day?

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

Gov. Deval Patrick has quietly extended a Romney administration freeze on money appropriated last year to reduce high caseloads at the overburdened Department of Social Services.

~Snip~

‘‘To not spend money that’s already been allocated by the Legislature could be seen to be unconscionable,’’ he said. ‘‘I thought kids were our priority.’’

Patrick’s extension of the freeze was not disclosed at last month’s hearings of the Legislature’s Special Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, at which Spence outlined plans to make more nurses, doctors and psychiatrists available to assess children with mental or physical illness.

The hearing came in the wake of the death of 4-year-old Rebecca Riley. She died in Hull on Dec. 13 and her parents, Michael Riley, 34, and Carolyn Riley, 32, are charged with killing her by repeatedly giving her overdoses of clonidine, a blood-pressure drug used to treat mental illness in children.

At the time of the hearing, Patrick said: ‘‘I’m very concerned about the Rebecca Riley case. I’m concerned about whether the recommendations that were brought forward after the Haleigh Poutre case were actually implemented,’’ referring to another case of child abuse for which the DSS came under intense criticism.

The Legislature appropriated money to hire an additional 160 social workers this fiscal year, which ends June 30. Romney ordered a freeze on the money and also restricted the total number of employees, Spence said.

Patrick kept the limit in place.

Bioethickists of the world rejoice! You have punished a facility for not killing a victim! Next stop, a thousand year Reich!

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

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Linda Scheible said she wanted her grandmother's "unnecessary suffering" to send a message to nursing homes everywhere. And a Palm Beach County jury's verdict on Friday afforded her the opportunity, she said, to let those caring for the elderly and infirm know that "they need to pay attention to patients' end-of-life directives and wishes."

In Florida's first prolongation-of-life trial, jurors found that the Joseph L. Morse Geriatric Center in West Palm Beach failed to honor the living will and advance directive of Madeline Neumann, a 92-year-old Alzheimer's patient who stipulated that she didn't want to be kept alive by artificial means.

They found that Morse Geriatric should pay $150,000 in damages. But the panel declined to find Morse's former medical director, Dr. Jaimy Bensimon, negligent for his role in Neumann's prolonged death.

~Snip~

The verdict was lauded by bioethicists, who say the availability of medical technology doesn't always impose a moral duty to use it. And though the impact of the verdict likely won't stretch outside Florida, it's still a precedent that might be taken into account in future cases, according to Dr. Kenneth Goodman, director of the University of Miami's bioethics program and the Florida Bioethics Network.

From World Net Daily...

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

Universal health care, or government-funded health insurance, is a major issue early on in the presidential campaign. North Carolina's former senator, John Edwards, has been stumping for it in his platform for president. Hillary Rodham Clinton, also a candidate for the presidency, has been pushing for it as far back as when her husband, Bill Clinton, first became president. It's also been a burning issue for state governments such as California and Massachusetts. Even a House Select Committee, in a state as conservative as North Carolina, has been studying the California and Massachusetts models of legislation with the prospect of making an attempt at providing universal health care for the Tar Heel State.

~Snip~

Most importantly, since a government-funded universal health-care system would come at a heavy financial burden to the state, one could only imagine how, over time, it would affect right-to-life issues. It most certainly would make abortion and euthanasia readily available. Children with gestational issues of retardation, spina bifida, etc. would likely require abortion. Vulnerable patients such as the chronically ill, disabled or elderly would be allowed to die as in the Terri Schiavo case, or possibly even terminated.

Universal health care: Unbiblical socialism

I guess there is some consistency here. The far left democrats cheer on the terrorists blasting innocents in Iraq and cheer on the slaughter of kids not yet born. Thread by wagglebee.

WASHINGTON, March 16, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Apparently the Democrats consider an emergency war funding bill to be an appropriate place to include funding for so-called "emergency contraception" for Planned Parenthood. On Thursday, the Appropriations Committee in the House of Representatives was scheduled to take up a $124.1 billion Supplemental Appropriations bill to fund the war in Iraq.

Into this emergency bill Democrats have buried a provision in the bill on page 155 which specifically mentions Planned Parenthood. The bill includes technical corrections to the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) regarding Medicaid. "These corrections: … clarify current law that planned parenthood clinics and certain university clinics can continue to receive nominal drug prices"

> From your description, I have to wonder if they're related. ; )

Only by marriage.

I'd be tempted to attend that trial. Won't be possible, though. If we have any interested Freepers in the area, we could get some good original reporting out of this.

Nice!! Thanks for pinging to this.

>> would be allowed to die as in the Terri Schiavo case

We'd need a new kind of hospice, along the lines of Buchenwald, that could perform the required tortures.

George Felos would make a fine resident manager. He could have a couple of stuffed animals to put beside patients while the photographers watched beatific dying experiences. Of course he'd have to jerk the teddy bears away from patients at the last moment. Those things aren't cheap.

I think they should have an ice chips machine in the lobby. You know, like animal feed you buy at petting zoos. For a buck you get a little cup of ice chips to ease grandma's dying agony.

Bears consideration.

Planning is an art form I have not yet mastered. I have the new, good camera right here. The battery is low and a heavy snowstorm plus two and half hours driving seperate me from the charger. But with the old camera I snapped a pic of the little critter trying to post to T'wit. It is embarrassing because he looks so determined, yet clueless. He still awaits the lutefisk which is to him as spinach is to Popeye.

Now, if I can get the pic mounted, I will post a pic of apprentice viking kitty.

[8mmMauser]

They may be able to use the talents of John Evander Couey who showed his Felos-like compassion by including a stuffed dolphin in the bag with little Jessica before burying her alive, tenderly.

[8mmMauser]

So when do we get to see a photo of the new Viking Kitty?

Photo is color but he is in black and white, otherwise it would be overbearing. He makes a good silhouette.

Here he is, capturing his pensive look as he ponders T'wit's comments and composes his own.

A word to the wise: Don't stack shelves next to your pc and wait for them to fall over!

Mom's doing okay. I stopped conservative spirit.org as planned. The murder of Terri left me without a political party and little interest in what politicos have up their sleeve.

Voting is important as is activism but blind loyalty to political parties is in many ways, a thing of the past imo.

It's so great to be back. Seriesly.

8mmmauser, maybe you could ping Terri's Legacy List that I'm finally back. I sure missed everybody!

[wagglebee]

Great to see you back!! :-)
