Gary Harvey is the brain injured man from New York, who seems to have his own private “death panel” determined to kill him off and to make his and his wife’s life as miserable as possible, until the sentence is carried out.  One might think it could get no worse than it [...]

It’s been confirmed.  Judge Judith O’Shea sealed the records in the Gary Harvey case.
 
William R. Shaw, Sara Harvey’s attorney, confirmed the court sealed the records and said neither he nor Sara could “reveal the documents filed in this matter, nor can the Court Clerk.”  He could, however, say that medical records are [...]

The holidays are fast approaching and Gary Harvey isn’t home yet.  Why not?
 
The wheels of justice turn slowly?  Someone needs to get out the grease because this situation has gone beyond unreasonable, illogical, irresponsible and control-freak mode.  It’s unacceptable!
 
In review:

The headlines seem full of road rage murders and men and women killing their mates and babies, as though we, as a society, have walked through a dark door into a realm where there is no value left on life. Then comes the headline of all headlines. The headline not [...]

It was a day in court like any other day, or was it?
The Corning Leader’s John Zick and Star Gazette’s Ray Finger reported on the September 17, 2009 Gary Harvey hearing. A hearing that sees a county fighting desperately to hold onto Gary Harvey, though the reasons behind their desperation seems [...]

Some think Rep. Joe Wilson was boorish for calling President Obama a liar. Well, I find Obama and his pals manipulating bullies and liars, when they try to deny that there are “death panels.” I find it worse than boorish that the President of the United States would dare call people liars (or suggest they are), when in fact they aren’t liars.

The headlines are amazing, as the denial continues on, suggesting that any claim of a death panel is a myth created by either lying right-wingers or lying special interest groups. No matter that there are already panels in the United States calling the shots over life and death.

Headlines are suggesting that Obama & Pals are determined to push through a health care bill regardless of what the majority of the American people want. So it isn’t about the people then? It isn’t about “change” that will restore the peoples’ voice and trust in government? It is, instead, about what [...]

President Obama claims death panels won’t be calling the life or death shots under a government health care system. However, there are already similar panels making life or death decisions for the sick and disabled. How much more dangerous could this be from a government which already sorely lacks accountability?

Instead of the transparency promised by Barack Obama, we are getting propaganda and slime, making the road to change a slippery proposition. This lack of transparency undermines support for Obama’s health care plan more than his opponents.

Has President Obama misused his position as President of the United States to unduly influence the outcome of the arrest of one of his friends and campaign donors? At best, the president has spoken ignorantly and undermined the ability of police officers to do their jobs and protect the public.

We expect that if the United States adopts a government health care system, there will be rationing that will leave some (the old, the severely disabled, etc.) out in the cold. But could it already be happening–that when medical authorities deem someone’s life no longer worth living, they hasten the death of that person?

“Dying With Dignity” (Emma Wright – June 3, 2009) was the title of WENY-TV’s report on the Gary & Sara Harvey story.
This was a story (not fully reported) that has the government, business, staff, lawyers, judges and the so-called ethics committee intruding upon personal family and health care matters; not only [...]

I’m more than a bit puzzled. People, alleging to be doctors or somehow more knowledgeable than most, commented that the autopsy proved Terri Schiavo could not have possibly been able to see.
These people suggested that the part of the brain that affects sight was too badly damaged. These people further claimed that dehydration [...]

The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation continues to move ahead in the fight to save victims from the “kill ‘em off” sector of our society.
This sector that includes people (and groups) from the judicial and healthcare systems, as well as those from the movement intent to insure (and force) everyone’s right-to-die and those who have fallen [...]

The article, “Miss California Keeping Title … for Now” (Monday, May 11, 2009) by Associated Press writer John Rogers is more revealing than any pictures that might have been taken of young Carrie Prejean. It’s unbelievably so.
“Prejean, 21, of San Diego, created controversy during the Miss USA pageant when she answered a judge’s question [...]

According to a KMBC report, “Fred Phelps, Daughter Banned From Britain” Phelps and his daughter are considered (by the British) to be ‘Adovocates With Extremist Views’. As a result, the British did something that I’m sure many from the United States would like to do. The British banned the Phelps from their [...]

It isn’t news that politicians often make promises they don’t keep for whatever reason. However, we now have a politician saying another politician didn’t keep a promise to him and after he went to all the trouble of defecting from a party that supported him for decades.
Yes, that’s right. It is Arlen Specter, [...]

The news is full of reports regarding credit card companies and the suggestion that if they are regulated, only a select few of the population will be able to qualify for a credit card. How dumb is that, I ask myself. Quite so, I answer earnestly.
Banks and other big corporations are being bailed [...]

I’m not an expert in the field of economics, nor have I ever claimed to be. However, I do have a bit of common sense which is better than reading glasses when studying up on the proposed fixes and fault blaming we have been overwhelmed with in our recent past. And that common [...]

Illinois seems to be having a run on scandals.  Scandals that have more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera on a roll.  Amazing.
John O’Connor’s article, “Burris tried to raise funds for Blagojevich”, says…
 ”SPRINGFIELD, Ill. U.S. Sen. Roland Burris now acknowledges attempting to raise money for ousted Gov. Rod [...]
