EXCLUSIVE New Schiavo Document Gives Cause For Independent Autopsy Review ©June Maxam A new document has surfaced in the Terri Schiavo case which casts even greater doubts on the veracity of Michael Schiavo and gives cause for an independent forensic pathologist to review the videotapes and specimens said to exist of the Schiavo autopsy. December 3, 1963. Terri Schiavo's birthday. She would have been 43 this year. It's been more than a year and a half since Terri's death on March 31, 2005, at age 41, a death by judicial decree at the behest of her husband in name only, Michael Schiavo. Although it's been nearly 20 months since her death, more questions than ...

Almost everybody complains about gas prices. But how many people try to do something about it? Jory Squibb of Camden certainly has! Cruising the streets of Camden, Squibb is enjoying his new convertible, especially his trips to the gas station. It's not a hybrid. Technically it's not even a car. It's a micro car, called the Moonbeam. The 65-year-old handyman created the Moonbeam, using parts from old motor scooters. Squibb has been around cars all his life. He grew up outside Detroit, where his father worked for General Motors. It took him $2,500 and more than 1,000 hours to build Moonbeam. He says it may not be pretty, but it's practical. "It's just a ...

By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer RIGA, Latvia President Bush, under pressure to change direction in Iraq, said Tuesday he will not be persuaded by any calls to withdraw American troops before the country is stabilized. "There's one thing I'm not going to do, I'm not going to pull our troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete," he said in a speech setting the stage for high-stakes meetings with the Iraqi prime minister later this week. "We can accept nothing less than victory for our children and our grandchildren." A bipartisan panel on Iraq is finalizing recommendations on Iraq. The group led by former Secretary of State ...

CHICAGO (AP) - A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians. New Line Cinema, which said it was dropped, had planned to play a loop of the new film on televisions at the event. The decision had both the studio and a prominent Christian group shaking their heads. "The last time I checked, the first six letters of Christmas still spell out Christ," said Paul Braoudakis, spokesman for the Barrington, ...

Weather Officials: Snowflakes Spotted In Central Florida UPDATED: 12:31 pm EST November 22, 2006 PONCE INLET, Fla. -- Snowbirds come to the Sunshine State to escape them, but weather officials said a few snowflakes were spotted in Central Florida.

Dear Dead Deer: One of Santa’s Best and Brightest Falls Prey to Bestiality

As if the news is not already foul enough, a recent case in Wisconsin drags the bar a few notches lower. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1116061deer1.html Bryan James Hathaway, a 20-year-old Wisconsin man with an apparent out-of-control fondness for venison, has been charged with engaging a deer in an affair of the flesh. It’s called bestiality and is against the law, even in that liberal wasteland known as Wisconsin. Hathaway, of course, has hired an attorney who is advancing a very unique defense: Because the deer in question was dead at the time, his lawyer argues, Hathaway should not face a misdemeanor rap of sexual gratification with an animal. By the same warped logic, ...
HOA Rule Forbids Couple To Smoke In Their Own Home

GOLDEN, Colo. -- A judge has upheld a homeowners association's order barring a couple from smoking in the town house they own. Colleen and Rodger Sauve, both smokers, filed a lawsuit in March after their condominium association amended its bylaws last December to prohibit smoking. "We argued that the HOA was not being reasonable in restricting smoking in our own unit, nowhere on the premises, not in the parking lot or on our patio," Colleen Sauve said. The Heritage Hills #1 Condominium Owners Association was responding to complaints from the Sauves' neighbors who said cigarette smoke was seeping into their units, representing a nuisance to others in the building. In a Nov. 7 ...

As a Supreme Court justice, Sandra Day O'Connor exasperated critics by balancing on a reed-thin beam without planting her feet firmly on either side. But in retirement, she doesn't equivocate in defense of judicial independence. She has crossed the country warning that "spurious" attacks on the judiciary -- by politicians and other talking heads -- threaten judges' doing their jobs without fear or favor. When federal appellate Judge Danny Boggs said at a Friday legal conference at Las Colinas that physical assaults aimed at judges have come mainly from "the deranged," O'Connor underscored the safety concerns. "Every member of the Supreme Court received a ...
Rove [May] Leave Within Weeks

The rumors that chief White House political architect Karl Rove will leave sometime next year are being bolstered with new insider reports that his partisan style is a hurdle to President Bush's new push for bipartisanship. A key Bush advisor tells the US News Political Bulletin, "Karl represents the old style and he's got to go if the Democrats are going to believe Bush's talk of getting along." The advisor said a departure might come in "weeks, not months." A Rove ally, however, noted that he has a record of out-witting his critics.

In the United States, you can be sentenced to prison for crimes you didn’t commit. Under current federal sentencing guidelines, the government can demand that the court sentence a defendant found guilty of some charges but innocent of other charges as if he had been found guilty of all of the charges. This, of course, is why they throw any charge they can think of at everyone who crosses paths with the injustice system. Invariably, they’ll manage to convict even the most innocent person of something, even if it’s a jaywalking charge, and get a sentence far in excess of what would be reasonable for such a charge. A federal district court recently condemned the practice, ...

Direct Democracy Lost in Florida and Colorado

With all the hoopla about the big Democratic win, little attention has been given to the assault on direct democracy. Sadly, Florida voters caved in and passed Amendment 3 that requires 60 percent to pass ballot initiatives instead of the present simple majority. What should be viewed as one of the great ironies of all times is that this amendment passed by a statewide vote of 57.8 percent to 42.2 percent. That’s right; this terrible amendment would not have passed under the new rule that now has become law! Michael Mayo, writing in the Sun-Sentinel before the election, noted: “Florida's amendment system has its faults, but it provides a necessary and powerful counterbalance to ...

Lines of thunderstorms hammered the South on Wednesday, turning a skating rink into a hulk of twisted metal soon after 31 preschoolers and four adults fled to the only part of the building that turned out to be safe. One child suffered a broken bone and another a cut to the head, but everyone else emerged unharmed from the crumpled wreck of the Fun Zone Skate Center, which doubled as a day-care facility. "I'm amazed that anyone got out of there," said Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright. Several states were battered by the storms, which unleashed tornadoes and straight-line winds that overturned mobile homes and tractor- trailers, uprooted trees and knocked down power lines. At least ...

Much has been made about how corruption lead to the downfall of incumbent politicians just over a week ago. That is true with respect to GOP candidates, but not so true when it comes to Democrats. Consider the Democrat incumbents who won reelection despite corruption and or outright criminality: John Murtha (D-PA): Abscam and coziness with defense contractors make this fellow a very integrity-challenged Democrat. In line to become majority leader of the U.S. House if you can imagine! Patrick Kennedy (D-RI): Drives while looped and loaded, but was still reelected!

Watch it: Also, Bush revealed that he enjoys using “the email” but lamented that his son, President George W. Bush, cannot for fear that the emails would get subpoenaed. Bush worried that presidents who used email would be forced to prove “that you were telling the truth ...

If Rev. Ted Pike is correct, this blog may soon be illegal. “For the past eight years, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith has tried unsuccessfully to pass its Orwellian federal ‘anti-hate’ bill. It has failed largely for one reason: Republican control of Congress,” writes Pike. “Repeatedly, Republican opponents of their hate bill, such as Rep. Roy Blunt and Sen. Bill Frist have been able, with Republican congressional backing, to block passage,” but now, with Democrats in control of Congress, “such freedom-saving clout no longer exists. ADL’s federal thought crimes bill, ‘The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act,’ will be ...
