We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Rest in peace.
When I was upset or suffering from a terrible day, nothing cheered me up more, even for a minute, than watching this man's films or watching his interviews online. There is no way you could not laugh or crack a smile and his comedic nature. Thank you Robin.

MultiForm Module - Pull CMS Content into Specific Step Template
31 August 2011 at 10:22am
I know I can hardcode content into a specific Step template (ie. MyFirstStep.ss) and I can pull CMS content and have it show on every step of the form. But I'd like to pull $MyCustomField from the CMS and just have it show on one of the Step templates.
Alternatively, could some field labels be pulled from textfields in the CMS?

The Richest 1% Has Tripled Its Share of the US Income Over the Past 30 Years
The richest 1% has tripled its share of the income pie over the past 30 years, mainly through tax cuts and financial deregulation. If their income had increased only at the pace of American productivity (80%), they would be taking about a trillion dollar less out of our economy.
That extra income could provide a $40,000 per year job to every unemployed person and college graduate in the United States and have enough left over to pay off the deficits of all 50 states.
So the winners are pulling away. Meanwhile, average Americans make the same money, adjusted for inflation, that they made 30 years ago. If the median household income had increased at the pace of American productivity (80%), families would be making $92,000, not $50,000.
How about the superstars at the top? One man (John Paulson) made enough money last year to hire a quarter of a million entry-level health care workers, all by himself.
It helped that most of his earnings were subject to a 15% tax rate.
So for those of us just learning to play the free-market capitalism game, here's the question: How much should one man be able to make? $10 billion? $100 billion? $1 trillion? $8 trillion? Wait a minute -- that's ALL of America's income. That wouldn't work, because then some of you wouldn't get your share. You'll have to figure out a means of redistribution. But that's socialism. OK, John Paulson, go for the $8 trillion.
After all, that's the purpose of free-market capitalism, to allow any individual to take all he can get, even if his financial maneuverings contribute nothing to a productive society.
It's all part of the game, our new national pastime.

The River Ridge School Board met on Wednesday night, Aug. 20, and approved a resolution calling for a $13 million referendum this fall, which would cover the costs associated with moving all staff and students to one facility in Patch Grove and relinquishing the Bloomington facility.
The vote was 5-1 Wednesday, with board member Randy Martin opposed. Board member Dave Breuer, who has voted against the referendum resolution in the past, was absent from the meeting.
Approval of River Ridge's referendum in the Nov. 4 election would authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $13 million.
"Now, as we move forward, we have to educate the public," stated Lee Pritzl, River Ridge superintendent. "We will have public forums as we move toward November.
"It's important for people to remember that if we don't need the whole $13 million, we don't have to spend it."

A 16-year-old local girl who went missing Monday evening returned home early Tuesday morning, according to Crawford County Sheriff Dale McCullick.
"She is OK and safe," McCullick confirmed by phone late Tuesday morning. He declined to comment on the girl's condition upon her return or the cause of her disappearance.
Emily Fishler, who lives in Bridgeport Township, was originally reported missing to the sheriff's department between 9 and 9:30 p.m. Monday night. The family reported that she had gone out for a run around 4 p.m. and didn't arrive at her destination. The family also reported that they had seen a suspicious vehicle near their farm earlier in the day. A search immediately ensued and an Amber Alert and CodeRed alert were sent out. Within a couple hours, McCullick said, pictures and a description of the girl were put together and distributed to regional media and businesses as well.

There's a new face in the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce office and tourism and welcome center. Brenda Grondin, of Prairie du Chien, took over duties as administrative assistant to the director just over one month ago. So far, she's become accustomed to her duties well and she's ready to cultivate new relationships in her work advocating for area businesses.
Grondin was born and raised in Prairie du Chien. After high school, she went into the Navy and was stationed in Florida. She later moved to Vermont, where she worked in a cheese factory and attended college. Back in Wisconsin, she worked at Prairie Industries for over six years as a lead operator.
Looking at all of the construction on Marquette Road in Prairie du Chien, you may have wondered when some of the roads will open up again, or when the Blackhawk Avenue intersection will be closed for work on that roundabout. Project coordinators held a meeting for business owners on Aug. 13, addressing their progress and expectations at this time.
"Stages one and two should be done within about four weeks. All the way from Wisconsin Street to Mooney Street will be ready for local traffic prior to the Blackhawk intersection closure," said Randy Henkel, of H. James and Sons, the project's general contractor.
As of last week, Henkel felt that the Blackhawk/Marquette intersection would be closed around the third week of September.

Chapman University has agreed to pay $75,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging a former assistant professor was denied tenure because she is black.
Stephanie Dellande was denied tenure and a promotion to associate professor of marketing in the university's George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics in 2006. She was let go in June 2008 after an appeal failed.
U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt signed off on a consent decree Friday.
Dellande, who has a doctorate in marketing from UC Irvine, a master's degree from UC Riverside and a bachelor's degree from Loyola University, started teaching at Chapman in September 2001.
The EEOC sued Chapman in September 2010, but the university got the lawsuit thrown out by a federal court judge, prompting an appeal that led to settlement by consent decree.
"Rather than continue to spend valuable time and resources on this action, Chapman decided to terminate the litigation through settlement," the university said in a statement.
University officials agreed to improve racial discrimination training.
Dellande was the first black professor to apply for tenure at the business school, and the EEOC claimed she was held to higher standards than non- black educators.
"The outcome is a victory to me," Dellande told City News Service. "I'm very fortunate to have the EEOC represent my case and represent me... This is still a very emotional issue to me."
Dellande now teaches at another college in the Silicon Valley, but declined to say which one. She is also doing research and writing for academic journals, she said.
Chapman officials said there was no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement.
"The EEOC's case had no merit, and the federal judge saw that," Chapman University Chancellor Daniele Struppa said.
"Candidates for tenure must meet very high standards, and the decision in Professor Dellande's case was based solely on her accumulated record of teaching, service and scholarship.
"From the outset of the case, Chapman University has denied that race played any role in its decision to deny professor Dellande's application to be promoted to a tenured position. Chapman cooperated with the EEOC's investigation for more than three years before the lawsuit was filed.
"Chapman provided the EEOC with proof that Chapman's decision was based on a good-faith determination that Professor Dellande's overall qualifications fell short of Chapman's high standards for granting tenure."
Dellande's attorney, Connie Liem, said Chapman changed the standards after her client applied for tenure.
"In essence they moved the goal post and they should have told her where the goal post was," Liem said. "So which standard are they talking about?"

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) announced that it awarded $67m in grants to Alabama, Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and their political subdivisions in 2009 through the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP).
Created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the CIAP provides funding to the six Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas producing states to mitigate the impacts of energy development on marine and coastal areas.
MMS awarded funds to the eligible states in 2009 for 86 projects - Alabama, three; Alaska, 14; Louisiana, 29, Mississippi, 20; and Texas, 20. California's first grant award is expected in the coming weeks.
The majority of the projects focus on conservation, protection and restoration of coastal areas, including wetlands, which have been an important part of the states' CIAP plans.
Other projects that received funding included a wide array of initiatives, such as protection of wildlife, conservation education, building artificial reefs, and plugging abandoned wells in coastal state waters.
Some specific CIAP projects include one in Louisiana, the first state to receive funding under the CIAP in 2007, which was awarded a $10.6m coastal restoration grant for Grand Lake. The grant will be used to construct a rock breakwater to halt erosion on the south shore of Grand Lake, located in the Mermentau Basin in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Shoreline erosion rates in the Grand Lake area can be as high as 32 feet per year.
Texas received a $1m coastal protection grant in 2009 for Pelican Island, a critical bird habitat located near Corpus Christi. Funding from the grant provides erosion protection for approximately 1,000-1,500 linear feet of the northeastern shore.
The MMS also awarded a $700,000 grant in 2009 to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for a project that will test for environmental contaminants in fish populations throughout Alaska, thus addressing ways to protect both fish and the wildlife that consume them.
Shortly after Alabama's CIAP plan was approved in April 2009, MMS awarded an $8m grant to the state's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for a conservation education initiative in tandem with the restoration of the historic Gulf State Park Pier. The grant is being used to construct 25 conservation education exhibits and restore a portion of the boardwalk.
Similarly, Mississippi's Department of Natural Resources was awarded a $276,000 grant to construct a new Marine Education Center in Ocean Springs that will allow hands-on educational activities relating to ocean research.
Each state is required to submit a plan for the MMS's approval outlining the projects that would be undertaken with the funds. The projects have to meet requirements of at least one of the five authorized uses ranging from conservation and education to environmental restoration and preservation. Once the state's plan has been approved, the individual projects can be processed and begin receiving grant awards.

I would love to find that special someone who would laugh at my corny jokes, or dance with me Sunday mornings while I make breakfast. One thing I would like to put out there is that I am a single dad raising a 6yr old by myself. He does live with me and I am a single parent. I realize not everyone is ok with that situation, but i just wanted to put it out there. That being said I would love to find someone who has her act together, is looking for a serious relationship, I am looking for someone who takes care of themselves, gets to the gym at least a few times a week, and tries to eat healthy. Please do keep in mind I am 6'4" so it would be nice if you are tall as well.

Belay and start are same as for Red Venus. Belay on the slab. Climb up to the left to first bolt -which is high, but easy Class III. After first bolt, climb left to a high second bolt (also pretty easy with ledges). The crux is after the second bolt on a steep, thin slab. Use thin edges and mantles to get to and past 3rd bolt. Finish on good holds and easy ledges.
It shares a start and anchors with Red Venus on the right side of the Whale.

1 cup pitted dates, finely chopped
1 1/3 cups water, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, softened, divided
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar, divided
1 large egg
1 cup cake flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour miniature muffin or brioche tins. Simmer the dates in 1 cup water in a covered saucepan until soft, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, while you mix the puddings. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, and beat until combined. Add flour and salt, and mix at low speed until just combined. Add dates, and mix until they are incorporated.
Pour batter into pans and bake 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1/2 cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in remaining brown sugar, 1/3 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has reduced, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
Leaving the puddings in the pans, poke them all over at 1-inch intervals with a chopstick. Slowly pour half of the sauce over the puddings in the pans and allow to soak in, about 30 minutes. Remove from the pans, place on a rack and top with remaining sauce.

Anytime a criminal defense lawyer gets a police report and sees that his client allegedly confessed to a crime a red flag goes up. Was the confession made voluntarily? Was it recorded? How long did the interrogation last? What promises or inducements did the police make that prompted the defendant to tell them what they wanted to hear? Was the accused impaired by alcohol or drugs? Finally, does the defendant speak English and if not was an interpreter present for the interrogation. This post examines one of my recent cases where the defendant supposedly confessed to a rape and our approach to challenging criminal confessions in Massachusetts.
College Rape and Sexual Assault Claims Trigger New Consent Rules
In an effort to address college rape and sexual assault claims the California legislature is honing in on some new laws focusing on consent. The law if passed will require that on all college campuses run by the state consent must be verbalized or written and obviously given in advance of the sexual activity. Consent cannot be assumed. While the details of the law are being debated it is agreed that "lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silent mean consent". Reading this law makes me wonder how long it will take before Massachusetts tries to tackle this issue. Continue reading →
The Police Want Me To Go To The Station To Tell My Side Of The Story: Don't Do It
I have a large number of clients who got to me through my website and one of my blogs. All of these properties make reference to remaining silent. I have posted countless times about the dangers of meeting with the police without having consulted with a lawyer. I have posted about this in social media. Every day I read at least one Google Plus post about someone who decided to meet with the cops rather than consult with a lawyer. Every time I read about this or hear about it one thing sticks out. The person who talked to the cops got charged with a crime and never would have had he remained silent. And again today, someone called me telling me that the police called them asking "me to go to the station to tell my side of the story". My advise was simple don't do it.
Rape Defense in Massachusetts: Consent Followed by Buyer's Remorse or Just a Lie?
Very few criminal acts are considered more hideous than rape. This crime is commonly defined as non-consensual forcible sexual intercourse. The element of force is required in every rape case. Force must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. However, there is no requirement that the district attorney prosecuting one of these cases show that the complainant was beaten or held down. There is no requirement for the district attorney to show actual force in the commission of this act. The force necessary to prove a rape need not be physical. Constructive force satisfies the prosecutor's if proven beyond a reasonable doubt. This post discusses a common defense to some rape cases focusing on the issue of consent.
Massachusetts Sexual Assault Case That Will Never Be Proved If Suspect Does Not Talk to the Cops
Yesterday I received a call from a client. He told me that the police in a certain suburban Boston, Massachusetts town wanted to talk to him about a sexual assault. When pressed he learned that the allegations were hideous – rape of a child. He had absolutely no idea what the police were talking about. He wanted to talk to them and I told him not to under any circumstances. Fortunately the man took my advice. With a little digging we learned more about the allegations. The man is married. He recently caught his wife cheating on him. They have three children together. She applied for a restraining order against him. It was not granted. Consequently she called the police and told them that she had been having sex with him since before her sixteenth birthday. This post articulates reasons why I tell all clients never to talk to the cops. Continue reading →
Federal Child Enticement Charges Filed in Massachusetts Against Connecticut Man
Local news outlets are reporting that a fifty-six year old Connecticut man has been arrested and charged with child enticement in Massachusetts federal court. The complaint alleges that Paul Hinkel tried to entice a minor into having sex with him. Hinkel responded to a Craigslist post generated by undercover federal agents. The listing directed interested parties to an email address. Email exchanges between Hinkel and someone posing as the minor's mother disclosed negotiations and plans for completing the act. When the Hinkel arrived at the meeting location he was met by federal agents and arrested. Continue reading →
Is It Better To Fight or To Waive Rendition If You Are Charged With a Crime in Massachusetts?
Browsing the Internet today I saw a story about a twenty two year old man being charged with statutory rape in Massachusetts. The man, Matthew Pos was arrested out of state and is being held pending a rendition hearing. Rendition is the process of one state sending a suspect in a criminal case to the state where the criminal charge is pending. All states have some sort of rendition law. Some people refer to this process as extradition. This post provides a synopsis of how rendition laws work and when they should be challenged or waived. Continue reading →
Prostitution Stings and How They Work in Massachusetts
If you are wondering just how prevalent prostitution cases are in Massachusetts just open you local newspaper. At least once a week you can read about a local prostitution sting. If you want more detail just perform some basic Internet searches such as "prostitution arrest" in "your town". You will quickly learn that the world's oldest profession is conducted everywhere. No longer is prostitution simply associated with street hookers parading down the red light districts of major cities. Now, sex is advertised and sold in every town. Just go to Craigslist or Backpage and search for dates or massage services. Manicures and nail services are often code for sexual services as well. Recently, law enforcement has been focusing on flushing out the demand for sex rather than the supply. They do this through "stings", the subject of this post. Continue reading →
Child Rape: Guilty Before Proven Innocent and You Better Prove You Didn't Do It
We have all heard the expression innocent until proven guilty. We all know that the proof is on the district attorney to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime charged. We are familiar with those historic words "cloaked with the presumption of innocence". Yet any time someone is charged with the crime of rape of a child people run and hide from those constitutional protections and principles. Opinions are immediately formed. The defendant is now a pariah. Even judges overlook those bedrock ideologies. The only person someone this position can count on is his criminal defense lawyer.
How to Prosecute Child Pornography Cases in Massachusetts, Possession or Distribution?
In almost every case involving child pornography prosecutors in Massachusetts are faced with what should be a difficult decision: to charge possession of child pornography or to charge distribution of child pornography. Let's look at some common facts. Rarely, if ever is a defendant caught with one image or a few images. This is because child pornographic materials are accessed through file share programs. The files that people receive though peer to peer networks usually contain scores if not hundreds of images. Under Massachusetts law this permits the prosecution to charge the more severe felony, distribution of child pornography. And usually, the prosecution does just that, it charges distribution. However the charge of possession, a lesser included felony is typically charged as well. This post examines why that is done and some thoughts on defending these cases.

Three Things You Need To Run Your Business
A lot of people are starting to jump into the business world and start their own small business. Most of them are lured by the idea of becoming overnight millionaires but do not consider the amount of risk that goes into starting your own business. They often overlook some of their own skills before deciding to invest large sums of money to start their own business. I am going to talk about three simple things that everyone should consider before taking the first steps, in starting your own business.
The first thing any good business owner needs to have is persistence. This is a very important trait for business owners to develop and have. You are going to hear the words no or not interested, more times than you are going to be able count when you first start you business. Even if you are offering the worlds greatest products or services, your company is completely unknown and it is unlikely that you are going to get instant recognition for it. The name and reputation of your company is going to constantly be in question and learning to remain positive and keep pushing forward is going to be difficult but necessary.
Professionalism is another key attribute that a small business own must be willing to embrace. It does not matter if it is in a meeting or an interview; you are going to have to learn to always remain gracious. This is going to be the backbone of your company's reputation and status within the public eye. The stronger and more positive of a reputation you can build the more likely customers are to seek you out. This will always greatly increase any word of mouth advertising that you can receive from business partners, clients or employees; and everyone is always looking for great free advertising.
It is critical for small business owners to learn to control their personality. It is important to be yourself but in the business world you have to learn to adapt and the ability to read people and various situations is key. There is a time and a place for an ego. Your ego can either destroy any headway you are trying to make and ruin all of your hard work or it can also be the most power weapon in your business arsenal. Learning when and how to use your ego is going to be a very important and challenging task for young business owners.
Building Relationships to Expand Your Small Business
A lot more small business owners need to begin utilizing the potential of the Chamber of Commerce. If a small business joins forces with a local Chamber of Commerce an entirely new world of opportunity can open up for the business. The Chamber of Commerce sets goals for itself, which are designed to help find customers for local small business owners and increase their odds of success. The Chamber of Commerce is a very good place for small business owners and potential business owners to collect information on running or starting a business. Depending on your local Chamber of Commerce, it may also offer programs that will share invaluable business tips and the commonly forgotten steps to success.
You can become a member of your local Chamber of Commerce and request to sponsor a mixer at your location. This will benefit you in a multitude of ways. You will be able to put on a demonstration of your products and services for other members of the Chamber of Commerce to see and experience. This is going to be a great way to get your name and product out to other small businesses that may be able to utilize the talents and products your company has to offer. It also allows you to see what other options are available for you in the area. You could in theory also scout the competition if you wanted, during this event.
The mixer will also allow you and any employees that you have invited to the event, to do some networking. Networking is a great way for a company to expand its resource base. It is always beneficial to have additional contacts that would be willing to help or offer advice if you are ever in need. That is one of the aspects of the Chamber of Commerce that make it such a power resource for any small business owner. Giving you and your employees other people to contact and learn from while your business starts to grow is nothing short of life saving at times. You are also going to be able to bounce around ideas between some of your contacts and find out what is going to work for your business and what will not.
Why Social Media Outlets Are So Important To Small Businesses
One of the biggest marketing tools most small businesses fail to really consider resides in social media. Today you can find just about everyone using one form of social media or another. I am sure most of you have used Facebook at one time or another. Even if it is just used to share information with family or friends from out of town on a regular basis. Social media can be your best friend, as long as it is done right.
When building a website for your company, have the design incorporate social media into the site. They will have to be asked to create social media accounts for the site, but this is the stepping stone your business needs to really elevate itself to the next level. These social media outlets allow you have to customers give feedback and share with their friends, how much they like your company. The simple action of someone clicking the small "like" button can be the difference in thousands of dollars in revenue for your business
If you do not currently have a website for your company and are looking to build one in the future, considering hiring a company who has a proven record in results. Make sure that they have experience with social media as well. While it is not difficult to create a social media fan page, it can be difficult to get it running properly. Remember, first impressions are everything and catching someones eye right off the bat can be the difference between gaining or losing a new customer.
If you already have social media incorporate into your website, make sure you are utilizing it properly. Put someone in charge of managing the business end of the site. Have them interact with the people on the social network, by posting relevant information about what is going on with your business as well as responding to comments that are made on your page. This will in turn show the people viewing your site, that you are in touch with your customers and it gives a more personalized feel to people who are viewing your site.

Former Alcoa financier challenges longtime incumbent in Allegheny County treasurer's raceOctober 27, 2011 4:00 AM
Share with others:
The longtime Allegheny County treasurer is facing competition this election season from a former treasurer of Alcoa.
The county treasurer oversees the collection of various county taxes, including those for property, alcoholic beverages, vehicle rentals and hotels. The treasurer also manages hunting, boating, fishing and dog licensing.
Democrat John Weinstein, 47, of Kennedy, who has held the office for 12 years, said he is running on his record and credits his office with increasing efficiency by implementing electronic county tax bills.
"It's a major step toward automating the tax billing process," he said, adding that the county is the only one in the state with electronic tax bills.
His Republican challenger, Ned Pfeifer, 78, of Shadyside, said the office can still be more cost-effective. He criticized the size of its 80-person staff and its $5.7 million budget.
"The first thing I would do is look at the budget," he said. "See where 80 people spend their time."
Mr. Pfeifer added that he has "some real concerns" about the management of the county's pension fund. As county treasurer, Mr. Weinstein sits on the retirement board, which oversees the fund.
The 2008 national financial crisis diminished the value of financial assets, such as corporate equities and bonds, upon which pension systems across the country rely for funding, and Allegheny County's system is no exception. The system dropped from 93 percent funded in 2008 to 71 percent funded in 2010, according to actuarial reports.
Regardless, Mr. Weinstein said the fund's diversified portfolio helped it remain one of the strongest in the state.
Mr. Pfeifer said his experience in financial management would help him play an important role in reversing what he said is the county's economic decline. He said his 30-year career in financial management at Alcoa Inc. -- a multinational aluminum production corporation based in Pittsburgh -- including four years as its corporate treasurer and nine years as CFO of its Australian subsidiary, has prepared him for any issues a county treasurer could face.
Mr. Weinstein, who was once deputy treasurer, ascended to the office in 1999 when his predecessor retired. Mr. Weinstein then held onto it through three elections, facing little competition. The last election had no Republican challenger, and Mr. Weinstein received about three-fifths of the vote in the preceding election.
There is no way to know if Mr. Weinstein will win again, Mr. Pfeifer said. "Nobody has been brave enough to run against him," he said.
That history has not stopped former county chief executive Jim Roddey, now chairman of the county Republican Party, from supporting Mr. Pfeifer's campaign. Republican Councilman Vince Gastgeb criticized Mr. Roddey earlier this year for backing Mr. Pfeifer, saying the party should instead be concentrating its resources on winning higher offices, such as county executive.
Now just weeks before the Nov. 8 election, Mr. Roddey stands by his decision to support Mr. Pfeifer.
"I have an obligation to support him, as does the party," Mr. Roddey said. The county party has helped Mr. Pfeifer distribute mailings and yard signs and make phone calls to voters, he said.
Although support for Democrats has dwindled nationwide since 2008, Mr. Weinstein said voters will vote according to the job he has done over the last 12 years. "I trust that taxpayers are confident in the job I am doing," he said.

Religious Law is All Well And Good, Until Someone Files a Law Suit.
The catholic church has added another incredible page to its history book of hypocrisy.
In Colorado, a "non-profit" organization, Catholic Health Initiatives is hiding behind Colorado secular law in order to ward off a wrongful death lawsuit involving a 31 year old women and her two unborn twins. The defense? The babies were fetuses, therefore the courts "should not overturn the long-standing rule in Colorado that the term 'person,' as is used in the Wrongful Death Act, encompasses only individuals born alive. Colorado state courts define 'person' under the Act to include only those born alive. Therefore Plaintiffs cannot maintain wrongful death claims based on two fetuses"
On January 1, 2006, Jeremy Stodghill brought his seven months pregnant wife Lori into the ER at St. Thomas More hospital in Canon City, Colorado. She had trouble breathing, and was vomiting. Her obstetrition, Dr. Pelham Staples was paged as soon as Lori arrived, but did not answer. Lori died less than an hour later, as did her unborn twins. The hospital determined that Lori died from a massive heart attack, which was a result of the main artery to her lungs being clogged.
After Lori's death, Jeremy Stodghill filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the hospital, one of the 170 health care facilities that Catholic Health Initiatives operates in 17 states. His complaint is that the ER should have performed an emergency C-section in order to save the lives of the fetuses. So far, the hospital has been successful in fighting the lawsuit by claiming that the fetuses were not people since they were not born yet. This defense has been held up by two different Colorado courts. This is where the hypocrisy of the church comes in.
All catholic health care facilities follow the directives of the catholic church: Catholic health care facilities are to recognize the sanctity of life from the moment of conception until death. The church's defense of life encompasses the unborn. That is of course, until the church is about to lose a shit load of money. All dogma goes out the window, while this organization with 15 billion dollars in assets hides behind secular law!
The church states that abortion is a sin because life begins at contraception, yet two 7 month fetuses have no rights because they are unborn, and not people? The church may have secular law behind them, but their God's law has been forsaken in order to cover their own asses.
Nice. Really fucking nice. This is a perfect example of why I'm a born again atheist.

Tagg Romney's Gestational Surrogate Had An "Abortion Clause" – The Frisky
Here's a very interesting article that highlights just how much of a hypocrite Mitt Romney is. There may have been a surrogate agreement between the Romneys and the surrogate who gave birth to their son Tagg (who names their son Tagg?). Within the agreement was an abortion clause, allowing either party to abort the fetus under certain conditions. Here's the clause, in all of it's hypocritical goodness:
"If in the opinion of the treating physician or her independent obstetrician there is potential physical harm to the surrogate, the decision to abort or not abort is to be made by the surrogate. … In the event the child is determined to be physiologically, genetically or chromosomally abnormal, the decision to abort or not to abort is to be made by the intended parents. In such a case the surrogate agrees to abort, or not to abort, in accordance with the intended parents' decision."
I don't have a problem with the clause if it did exist: the problem that I have is with Mitt and Ann Romney. Ostensibly, they are the hallmark of the GOP's core plank of "family values". You know, no abortion, no marriage equality, god and country, blah fucking blah. Romney can not be trusted. He talks out of both sides of his pie hole in order to whore for votes, while little tidbits from his past are appearing more frequently and discredit him more each day. His elitist, out of touch political stance is losing support by the hour, even among conservatives. He needs to be shut down, along with his extremist right wing lackeys. When you go to vote, make sure you are completely informed about this man, and do not believe the bull shit.
A Woman's Body
I Bet Movie Night At Terri Proud's House Isn't Much Fun.
Back when I was a freshman in an Ohio catholic high school, part of my young adult christian brain washing was being forced to watch a video of an actual abortion. I remember that me and my class mates were subjected to this horrific film as a part of our health class. The film was very graphic, and many of the students had to leave the room; they were either emotionally overwhelmed, or nauseated from the gore. It was a very traumatic experience for 13 to 14 year old kids to deal with, and furthered my personal disillusionment with the church, and religion in general. Even as a young teen, I could see through the bullshit that is religion.
Now, decades later, Arizona representative Terri Proud (R) wants to force women who want an abortion to watch one of these such videos, before they have the procedure. Apparently to Rep Proud, an abortion isn't traumatic enough; she wants to carry the anguish even further in an obvious attempt to further her christian agenda.
Terri Proud is part of the ongoing right wing movement to turn this country into a theocracy where everyone's rights are dictated by the bible. Speaking of the bible, Ms. Proud is also sponsoring a bill in the Arizona legislature mandating the teaching of the bible in public schools.
All I can say about the uber extremist right wing nut jobs in Arizona is this: It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

Would Someone Please Provide Rick Santorum a Clue? Or Perhaps a Shred of Humanity?
America's favorite misogynist patriarchal theocrat is at it again. When asked about abortion in cases of rape, in particular context of if it was his daughter, Rick "frothy mix" Santorum had this to say to Piers Morgan during an interview conducted this past Friday:
"Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn't have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn't, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I've always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can't think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation."
Of course, this would be easy for this bizarre religious wing nut to say, because you know, he doesn't happen to possess a uterus. However, he would love to own and dictate what happens to every American uterus. He's made that abundantly clear.

April Showers Bring Anti-Abortion Laws!
April has been a busy month for some states who want to legislate from a woman's uterus: No less than 33 laws restricting abortions have been passed by 9 states.
Kansas leads the pack, with several laws passed last month, and even more proposals under consideration. This is not surprising to me; Kansas seems to have the highest ratio of pro-life christian zealot nut jobs per square mile in the country. If you don't believe me, ask abortion Dr. George Tiller. Oh yeah, you can't; he was murdered by one of those wing nuts a few years ago.
At the rate our states are going, it won't be long before coat hanger alleys are open for business again in every state of the union.

My Response to Republicans Over SB5? F*ck You!
The bill SB5 passed in Ohio by a 17-16 vote yesterday, and all I can think is fuck you Republicans. Fuck you for going against popular opinion. Fuck you for trying to sneak in wording that would eliminate benefits for same sex partners on this bill. Fuck you for trying to make this about the budget, instead of your own nefarious agendas to accumulate more wealth and power. Fuck you for not caring about the poor and middle class, the backbone of this country. Fuck you for not giving a shit about women, and trying to control their bodies. Fuck you for claiming that abortion is murder, yet secretly cheer when another abortion doctor is killed. Fuck you for demanding that every child be born regardless of the price the mother may have to pay, and then ignore the child when it's born.
Fuck you for not allowing same sex partners all the rights and privilege that heterosexual couples enjoy on a federal level. Fuck you for attempting to eliminate Planned Parenthood, Wic, the EPA, and other vital agencies while giving yet more tax breaks to billion dollar corporations. Fuck you for taking up permanent residence in the Koch Brothers back pockets. Fuck you for inflicting Nixon, Reagan, and Bush upon us. Fuck you for bitching about high taxes, huge government, and an unmanageable national debt, than turning around and raising all three. Fuck you for claiming it's about jobs, then ignoring the unemployed when you're elected. Fuck you for doing everything you can to make our country a fascist, one party nation. Fuck you for the lies that you spread about Barack Obama. Fuck you for giving birth to the Tea Party. Fuck you for enabling Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity. Fuck you for Faux News. Fuck you for not putting a muzzle on Fred Phelps and the other crazy fuckers who preach hate and intolerance. Fuck you for Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, John Kasich, etc, etc, etc. Fuck you John Boehner for being the uncaring prick that you are. Fuck you for every other transgression that I left out. Fuck you, Fuck you, and Fuck you.
I'm sorry that this post isn't as eloquent as what you're used to. It's hard to be a wordsmith when all I feel right now is rage.
