How long did it take Michael to be awarded Terri's estate?

Would you believe only 4.5 hours?

Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's estranged husband Michael wasted no time in pursuing what was left of Terri's estate after she passed away on March 31. The disabled woman died after suffering from a painful 13 day starvation and dehydration.

Terri died just after 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the 31st and court papers filed with Circuit Court Judge George Greer show Michael's attorneys filed the estate request just hours later.

By 1:35 p.m., Greer had ruled in Michael's favor to receive Terri's estate.

As they say, it's all about the Benjamins. (For those of you who don't know that phrase, that refers to Benjamin Franklin, who is on the $100 bill.)

In fact, so rushed was the estate tranfer that Judge Greer made two major errors:

However, the Empire Journal newspaper reports that Greer's estate order had one major flaw. It erroneously declared Michael Schiavo, not Terri, died that day.

"Not only have the bar associations of West Pasco, Clearwater and St. Petersburg lauded Greer for his alleged professionalism in the case, but Greer claims to be a stickler for the law," the Empire Journal wrote regarding the matter.

"However, in the Schiavo case not only couldn't Greer get the name of the decedent right, but he had the wrong date of death too," the newspaper wrote. "So much for professionalism."

Snarky theocracy

This is pretty funny:

We Christians have been plotting since the days of our founding fathers to impose a Theocracy on this nation. I don’t know who leaked our plans before we had them ready but that person should be drawn and quartered for sure.

Now that you know the truth about our sinister plot you may have been wondering why we haven’t done it before now? I admit it does seem strange when you consider that in our past we had much larger numbers than we do today and could have over thrown our government at any time.

Well the truth is we’ve had some problems that we haven’t been able to work out in the past 200 odd years so that we are all on the same page.

If you think choosing a coffee at Starbucks is confusing you should have been at our last secret Theocracy Imposers meeting, where the different denominations outnumbered the flavors at Baskin Robbins. Just incase you weren’t aware all those different denominations have their own little rules and quirks about what is and what is not acceptable, and everyone wanted their rules to be imposed on the land. To say it got loud in there would be an understatement of massive proportions.

"On my honor..."

I never was a Boy Scout as they never really appealed to me, but I have nothing but the highest regards for them. They provide unique experiences and teach valuable skills of all kinds to boys across this great nation. Plus, they have a high regard for faith. That is why it makes me very angry that the far left, in the form of the ACLU, is mercilessly attacking the Boy Scouts all because they dare mention God. The Federalist Patriot (an online/email journal that I highly recommend) recently sent this (free subscription required to view that, I believe) out to their subscribers, which really sums up my feelings about the Boy Scouts and the attacks they've come under. Here's an excerpt:

At sunrise on Saturday, in advance of Memorial Day, this Boy Scout leader will join his troop and pack at Chattanooga's National Cemetery for an official ceremony and prayer memorializing fallen veterans, by branch of service, interred in the last year. Our Scouts will then fan out across the grassy slopes of this hallowed ground and place small flags at 35,000 headstones. (See http://FederalistPatriot.US/news/BSA.asp)

It is a remarkable experience for all in attendance, though it could be the last. The Boy Scouts have yet to be kicked out of Chattanooga's National Cemetery, but they have been exiled from many other public places.

Why?

Because all Scouts are bound by the following oath: "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country...." It is an oath which, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, makes the BSA a "religious organization," and, thus, in keeping with the ACLU's adulterated version of our Constitution's First Amendment, disqualifies the BSA from any public forum. Unfortunately, the ACLU and their patriarchs in Congress have planted enough judicial activists in U.S. Circuit Courts across the nation to impose, by judicial fiat, their God-forsaking agenda.

Huh. So since the Boy Scouts mention God in their oath that means they are a religious organization, what then of the following?

On a very interesting side note, my list of quotes is from a post I made on the TheologyWeb forums a while ago. This Federalist Patriot email got me thinking about those quotes and I looked up the post in TWeb's archives. While finishing this entry, I decided that I'd like to repost the quotes on TWeb, but I wanted to mention when I originally posted them. I went back to the archived post to reference the date and I was absolutely stunned when I read it:

May 27th 2003

I don't believe in coincidences.

Howie Dean: "abortions have gone up 25 percent" under President Bush

On last Sunday's "Meet the Press," Howard "Screaming Weenie" Dean belched up this gem:

You know that abortions have gone up 25 percent since George Bush was President?

Other Democratic leaders have refered to this, too, and their mindless followers have repeated it ad nauseum. Is it true? Unsurprisingly, no. Here's what FactCheck.org has to say:

The Biography of a Bad Statistic

Politicians from Hillary Clinton and John Kerry to Howard Dean have recently contended that abortions have increased since George W. Bush took office in 2001.

This claim is false. It's based on an an opinion piece that used data from only 16 states. A study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute of 43 states found that abortions have actually decreased.

Where did this liberal lie start?

The claim that abortions are rising again can be traced back to an opinion piece by Glen Harold Stassen, an ethics professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. His article originally appeared in a web and e-mail publication of Sojourners, a Christian magazine, in October 2004. Several other outlets, including the Houston Chronicle, also ran a similar piece co-authored by Stassen and journalist Gary Krane. The articles generated a good deal of discussion on a number of both liberal and conservative blogs.

Describing himself as “consistently pro-life,” Stassen reported that he “analyzed the data on abortion during the Bush presidency” and reached some “disturbing” conclusions. "Under President Bush, the decade-long trend of declining abortion rates appears to have reversed," he said. "Given the trends of the 1990s, 52,000 more abortions occurred in the United States in 2002 than would have been expected before this change of direction."

Stassen's broad conclusion wasn't justified by the sketchy information he cited, however. Furthermore, a primary organization he cited specifically as a source for historical data now contradicts him, saying abortions have continued to decline since Bush took office.

And where did Dean get his "25 percent" statistic? Looks like from the same bodily oriface where his head is located:

Dean's "statistic" went unchallenged by moderator Tim Russert, so millions of viewers probably got the impression that Dean's very specific 25 percent figure was correct. But Dean was wrong -- and by a wide margin.

We asked the Democratic National Committee repetedly where Dean got his 25 percent figure, but we got no response. Even if Stassen's estimate of 52,000 additional abortion were correct, that would figure to an increase of less than 4 percent.

None of this will stop the liberals from continuing to use the false claim, though. As with the Koran abuse claims, it makes the Bush administration and, primarily, President Bush himself look bad, and that is more important to liberals than the truth.

Latest ACLU-backed Koran abuse allegations a crock of bull

Michelle Malkin lays into the latest allegations:

GUANTANAMO BAY: THE REST OF THE STORY

Daily Kos and other liberal bloggers are claiming that newly-released FBI documents confirm Newsweek's allegations regarding Koran-flushing (see "FBI: Newsweek was right").

It should be obvious to anyone who so much as glances at the documents being cited that the FBI was reporting the statements of detainees rather than endorsing or validating those allegations. Immediately before describing the Koran-in-the-toilet allegation, the FBI notes the detainee's statement that "God tells Muslims to do a jihad against non-Muslims." Does Kos expect us to believe the FBI is endorsing that statement too?

...

Are the detainees' complaints valid? Maybe some are. But the FBI documents heralded by Kos and others as evidence of abuse actually show that a significant number of detainees' complaints were either exaggerated or completely fabricated.

One detainee who claimed to have been "beaten, spit upon and treated worse than a dog" could not provide a single detail pertaining to mistreatment by U.S. military personnel. Another detainee claimed that guards were physically abusive and told detainees that U.S. soldiers were having sex with the detainees' mothers. Yet this detainee said he had neither seen any physical abuse nor heard these comments from the guards. Other detainees who complained about abuse of the Koran admitted they had never personally witnessed any such abuse, but one said he had heard that non-Muslim soldiers touched the Koran when searching it for contraband.

A number of detainees were concerned about relatively mundane issues such as lack of privacy, lack of bed sheets, being unwillingly photographed, the guards' use of profanity, and bad food (like "the zoo," said one critic). If lack of privacy or bed sheets is a detainee's main concern, it is doubtful that the detainee is being tortured (unless the definition of "torture" is so ridiculously broad as to be meaningless).

Several detainees indicated they had not experienced any mistreatment whatsoever at Gitmo, including one detainee who claimed he was mistreated at Kandahar prior to his transfer to Cuba.

One detainee disputed claims that guards had mistreated the Koran. The detainee said that riots resulted from claims that a guard dropped the Koran. In actuality, the detainee said, a detainee dropped the Koran then blamed a guard. (This detainee is apparently more skeptical of Koran-abuse allegations than the Washington Post, which neglected to mention this tidbit.)

In one case, Gitmo interrogators apologized to a detainee for interviewing him prior to the end of Ramadan, giving lie to the MSM portrayal of guards and interrogators as Koran-dropping, Koran-kicking, Koran-flushing, Islamophobic thugs.

The liberals are trying so hard to make these allegations stick, but the truth always comes out in the end. The claims are bunk. The liberals will go on believing them without any proof, however, because they make the Bush administration look bad. That's far more important to them than the truth.

Why?

When you are a widely-read conservative blog with many conservative readers, why in the world would you potentially alienate many of those readers by prominently using the Lord's name as an expletive? More on this later.

Bizarre criticism in an article on Ken Ham's Creation Museum

I'm trying to figure out how the following section is relevent to the subject of this article:

The Rev. Mendle Adams, pastor of St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Pleasant Ridge, takes issue with Ham's views — and the man himself.

"He takes extraordinary liberties with Scripture and theology to prove his point," Adams said. "The bottom line is, he is anti-gay, and he uses that card all the time."

Ham says homosexual behavior is a sin. But he adds that he's careful to condemn the behavior, not the person.

Uh... Huh? What exactly does a person's view on homosexuality - good or bad - have to do with the issue of Creationism vs. evolution? Absolutely nothing! Then why did they include it? Why, for the cheap fundamentalist Christian bashing, of course.

Ridiculous.

GLSEN distributes pornographic materials to young kids

AgapePress and Article 8 Alliance are reporting on GLSEN's latest gay indoctrination event at a public school with young children in attendance:

GLSEN Boston's 15th Annual Conference was held at Brookline High School on April 30. Although the purported theme of the conference was "Challenging Intolerance -- Sustaining Hope," some conservatives feel a more fitting theme might have been "challenging public decency standards and sustaining moral outrage."

Among other things, the pro-homosexual network's "educational" conference featured distribution of pornographic materials encouraging homosexual acts. And according to at least two witnesses' estimates, the event was mostly attended by children of middle school age and up.

Brian Camenker, head of the Massachusetts conservative group Article 8 Alliance [CAUTION: Material not suitable for children], notes that among the first handouts distributed at the conference was something called "The Little Black Book." In a recent interview with American Family Radio news, he says he was scandalized at this graphically illustrated pamphlet, subtitled "Being Gay in the 21st Century," and at "the fact that this would be available to kids, the first thing you got when you got there. And when you saw this thing ... I can't even describe it on the radio -- it is essentially [explaining] how you can do various homosexual acts."

To counter the typical liberal accusation of "how can you condemn it if you haven't seen it," I actually did look at the pamphlet, which can be found on the A8A website (though I strongly warn everyone reading this to NOT look at it). My opinion of it is that it literally made me want to vomit both out of disgust and out of anger that homosexuals are exposing young kids to this UTTER CRAP. I am so livid right now, I can barely type. I'm holding back so many bad words right now. GLSEN has absolutely no business pulling stunts like this and "Fistgate" in public schools. It's time to shut them down for good. I don't give a rat's behind about you liberals and your cries for "tolerance" and "diversity" and "free speech." This garbage has absolutely nothing to do with those things. This is about homosexuals' indoctrination of young children. So take your defense of GLSEN and eat it. There's nothing you can say that will sufficiently defend them. GLSEN needs to be shut down NOW.

UPDATE: Kewlieluvr, a poster on the TheologyWeb forums with more intestinal fortitude than I, found this telling statement in the pamphlet's section on gay bars in Boston:

the bars have been a nexus of gay life for all ages

Oh, really?

UPDATE 2: I found this to be quite telling, too:

As has been reported by the Boston Herald and on many blogs, the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) denied placing the Little Black Book (warning: nudity and extremely graphic descriptions of sexual acts) at an event attended by middle and high schools students.

All day GLSEN Boston denied the allegations saying the story was a lie of the "far right." Just tonight the denial has turned into an admission. The Superintendent of schools there has also issued a statement. Check out the links to read their admissions.

The links to GLSEN in that entry no longer contain the relevent information, however. Imagine that... They're covering their behinds, obviously. Too bad (for them, not us) they can't control other sources. Their denial can still be found here.

UPDATE 3: GLSEN Boston has finally updated their news page to address this issue. It's a nice little song and dance in order to dodge any responsibility. "It wasn't us! It was the one-armed man!" If a conservative group unwittingly had neo-Nazi or KKK materials at one of their events, I'm sure the left would be understanding and forgiving about it. "Oh, you didn't know? Well, that's okay." Yeah, right...

The bogus "100,000 dead Iraqis" meme makes another major appearance as cold, hard fact

In his statements to Sen. "Stormin'" Norm Coleman, British Parlament member (and new hero to the loony left) George Galloway said this:

Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong. And 100,000 people have paid with their lives

No, Mr. Galloway. They haven't. That figure has been completely debunked and there is no evidence whatsoever that it has any basis in fact. Where are the bodies? Where are the graves? Nowhere. They don't exist. Yes, it is very tragic that some Iraqi civilians have died, but not 100,000 of them.

Galloway then went on to try to exploit the U.S. military casualties:

1,600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies, 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever

It's war, fool. When war happens, soldiers are inevitably injured and killed. They know it can happen. They've dedicated their lives to a hazardous job.

Besides, what about the mass graves of Saddam's victims that are continually being discovered? Liberals never mention those dead people. Saddam's victims very likely exceed 100,000 several times over, and there is actual physical proof to back up that figure, not some bogus, extremely soft numbers some researcher wrote down on a piece of paper.

And, unsurprisingly, the "Bush lied" meme is vomited forth again:

on a pack of lies.

Sorry, but being wrong is not the same as lying. Besides, if these are lies, then they are lies that Clinton, Kerry and a number of other Democrats helped spread. The liberals don't talk about that either, though.

Then we have this:

Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported.

Exactly what "crimes" are you refering to, Mr. Galloway? Seems to me you're the one trying to divert attention from the crimes you supported.

What a joke!

ANOTHER Newsweek story causes riots

You simply aren't going to believe this.

Newsweek Lutefisk Story Sparks Fury Across Volatile Midwest

Decorah, IA - The debris-strewn streets of this remote Midwestern hamlet remain under a tense 24-hour curfew tonight, following weekend demonstrations by rock- and figurine-throwing Lutheran farm wives that left over 200 people injured and leveled the Whippy Dip dairy freeze. The rioting appeared to be prompted, in part, by a report in Newsweek magazine claiming military guards at Spirit Lake’s notorious Okoboji internment center had flushed lutefisk down prison toilets. Newsweek’s late announcement of a retraction seems to have done little to quell the inflamed passions of Lutheran insurgents in the region, as outbreaks of violent mailbox bashings and cow tippings have been reported from Bowbells, North Dakota to Pekin, Illinois.

Whether the violence was triggered by Newsweek’s report of lutefisk desecration or frustration over chronic shortages of Beanie Babies and Old Style, one thing seems certain – occupying U.S. troops face a steep road to reestablish trust in this tinderbox of ancient hatreds and delicious dairy products. Some analysts say the latest outbreak represents the most vexing challenge to US strategy since its invasion the region three years ago.

“It could be months before we get the area back under control,” said Brigadier Gen. Glen Hastings of the US Army’s Southern Minnesota Command. “We’re hoping the tractor pull and swap meet seasons will help calm down some of the violent elements.”

Read the rest. It's hilarious! Unless, you know, you have no idea what Midwesterners and lutefisk is all about.

"Coming out of the closet" vs. ex-gay

This Washington Times article got me thinking. Why is it that the view that people can "come out of the closet" and go from being straight to being gay is so accepted by liberals, but the idea that people can go from being gay to being straight is met with hostility and rage? Why is becoming gay viewed as "healthy," but becoming straight is viewed as dangerous and the therapy is called "snake oil?" There are many, many people who, after therapy, have become gay. Why can't the opposite happen?

Well, the answer is right in that same article. Read what the PFLAG executive director said:

"Our beliefs are superior."

That statement really says it all and betrays their true agenda.

I'm letting the draft prediction post go

There's less than a month left until the draft is supposedly going to be reinstated. I've seen little more than baseless accusations and worthless "evidence" (e.g. the tens of thousands strong U.S. military has been severely crippled by the loss of 1600 soldiers - whatever...).

So anyway, my light blogging should keep the draft prediction post on the main page until June 15th, when I'll be able to ask, "Where's the draft?"

In the meantime, I did find this:

Draft Fears Fueled by Inaccurate E-mails (FactCheck.org)

Any of you liberals want to tell FactCheck that they're wrong?

Kossacks say draft within 75 days

IMPORTANT NOTE: I've pre-dated post-dated this post to June 15th so that it stays on top. Please check below this post for other entries.

Well, the inmates at DailyKos have set a deadline for when they expect President Bush to start up the draft:

On March 31st, the Director of the Selective Service System (the SSS) is due to report to the Pentagon that the agency is ready to open 1,980 draft board offices around the country and be ready to operate lotteries by June 15th.

...

The only thing holding back the draft at this point appears to be Bush's losing fight on Social Security. He must wait until that vote is won or lost before he can take the unpopular and long-planned step of reinstating the draft.

...

The week after Social Security is voted up or down, expect legislation for the Skills Draft and Updated Medical Draft to appear on the Republican side. As soon as that goes through in the dead of some night, the draft will be reinstated soon after.

So there we have it, folks. We'll have the draft back by June 15th, thanks to legislation "the week after Social Security is voted up or down." Will the Kos Kids be proven right, or will they once again fall flat on their faces?

Oh, and do you wonder about the authenticity of this document which the Kos page links to as proof?

UPDATE: Well, the 31st has come and gone, and there is no word about any meeting between the Director of the Selective Service System and the Pentagon. No surprise there. Oh, but I bet it was a super-duper-ultra-mega-hush-hush-secret meeting. Yep. And they used the Cone of Silence, too.

Almost 5 months later, and much tsunami aid sits idle

TheologyWeb poster "Epoetker" found this article by Mark Steyn:

Remember the tsunami? Big story, 300,000 dead; America and other rich countries too "stingy" in their response; government ministers from every capital on earth announcing on CNN every 10 minutes more and more millions and gazillions. It was in all the papers for a week or two, but not a lot of water under the bridge since then, and as a result this interesting statistic may not have caught your eye:

Five hundred containers, representing one-quarter of all aid sent to Sri Lanka since the tsunami hit on Dec. 26, are still sitting on the dock in Colombo, unclaimed or unprocessed.

At the Indonesian port of Medan, 1,500 containers of aid are still sitting on the dock.

Ridiculous, isn't it? Makes you mad, doesn't it? Just wait. It gets worse.

Who? Well, he's prime minister of Canada. And in January, after the tsunami hit, he flew into Sri Lanka to pledge millions and millions and millions in aid. Not like that heartless George W. Bush back at the ranch in Texas. Why, Prime Minister Martin walked along the ravaged coast of Kalumnai and was, reported Canada's CTV network, "visibly shaken." President Bush might well have been shaken, but he wasn't visible, and in the international compassion league, that's what counts. So Martin boldly committed Canada to giving $425 million to tsunami relief. "Mr. Paul Martin Has Set A Great Example For The Rest Of The World Leaders!" raved the LankaWeb news service.

You know how much of that $425 million has been spent so far? Fifty thousand dollars -- Canadian. That's about 40 grand in U.S. dollars. The rest isn't tied up in Indonesian bureaucracy, it's back in Ottawa. But, unlike horrible "unilateralist" America, Canada enjoys a reputation as the perfect global citizen, renowned for its commitment to the U.N. and multilateralism. And on the beaches of Sri Lanka, that and a buck'll get you a strawberry daiquiri. Canada's contribution to tsunami relief is objectively useless and rhetorically fraudulent.

I seem to remember, too, that in the days following the tsunami, U.N. officials were hard at work getting a hold of luxury living spaces and making sure they had the finest foods to eat. Yep. Join the U.N. team, where every natural disaster becomes a five-star vacation!

Sickening.

My Boy Scouts vs. ACLU thug post is getting attention

And guess where from? I checked my Site Meter referrals today and saw a bunch of hits from The Blog That Shall Not Be Named, some of them going to this post. I'm sure whatever is being said about that post is completely rational, intelligent and polite. (Yeah, right.) Too bad nobody's had the guts to comment on it.

Newsweek apologizes to dead people for getting them killed

Newsweek says may have erred in Koran report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Newsweek magazine on Sunday said it may have erred in a May 9 report that said U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay, and apologized to victims of deadly violence sparked by the article.

How the H. E. double-hockey-sticks do they do that?

"Gee, we're sorry you're dead, but we had a scoop that we needed to report on no matter how flimsy it actually was because it helped made the Bush Administration look bad. Again, sorry for the inconvenience of your deaths and all. Our bad!"

If there's any justice left in the world, Newsweek will have to pay out large sums of money to the victims' families and be forced to shut down forever.

And as Marc of the USS Neverdock blog asks:

Where was Newsweek and the rest of main stream media when The Palestinian gunmen holed up in the Church of the Nativity tore up Bibles for toilet paper?

Willfully ignoring it, of course.

Calif. Rep. Waters says Pat Robertson supported the Taliban

File this under Loony Liberal Leftist:

Bizarre accusation

Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, charged yesterday that Pat Robertson and other religious conservatives were supporters of the Taliban in Afghanistan. But a top Justice Department official appeared puzzled by the accusation.

"Do you have conservative religious organizations in the United States who supply resources to the Taliban?" Mrs. Waters asked Barry Sabin, chief of the Counterterrorism Section for the Criminal Division, Department of Justice.

"I don't know what you're specifically referring to," said Mr. Sabin, who was appearing before the House Judiciary crime, terrorism and homeland security subcommittee.

"Well, I'm talking about Pat Robertson and some of the organizations that were involved with support of the Taliban before 9/11, and I'm told that still there may be some connections to them. Do you know anything about this at all?"

Mr. Sabin: "I don't know what you're referring to."

I suspect that Ms. Waters has been surfing the online insane asylums known as DailyDean (aka DailyKos) and the Democratic Underground.

100 days. John, where are you?

As you can see at the top of my blog, it's now been 100 days since John Kerry agreed on national television to sign is form SF-180 to release his military records.

No surprise. Just mentioning it.

More weird Google searches about Gianna Jessen

As I pointed out once before, someone or a few someones out there really don't like Gianna Jessen - the young woman who survived an abortion - and/or her story. A few days ago, I noticed yet another search for "Gianna Jessen fraud" brought someone to S&B;, and again today, a search for "Gianna Jessen fraud abortion" showed up on my Site Meter referrals page. The details for the visitors show them to be different people (one from Australia and one from Atlanta), so obviously more than one person out there have it in their heads that Gianna Jessen is a liar. It's strange how people just don't want her story to be true. That speaks volumes about the pro-abortion crowd.

Maureen Dowd rambles on and on about "chimeras"

Captain Ed wades through the bizarre landscape that is Maureen Dowd's mind. In her most recent column, Dowd is apparently trying to make some point about chimeras or something. It's difficult to tell if her point is about generic engineering, President Bush or the Republican party. It's all just another pile of mindless drivel from one of the left's most disjointed minds.

I'm not dead yet!

Yes, I'm still around. Yes, I'm neglecting my blog. I just haven't stumbled across anything that's struck me as something I need to blog about. I tend to go in streaks anyway. And then there's my nasty little addiction.
