The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
July 20 is … Ugly Truck Contest Day
There has to be more than one winner in this contest. Drive by any bar on Fridays after 4:00 p. m. or any high school parking lot when school is in session, several contestants will be visible.
According to a HuffPost story, a convicted murderer is suing the state because, while in prison, a prison employee saved his life after he told them not to save his life. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. A convicted murderer is suing the state of Colorado for saving his life after his heart stopped beating.
Daniel Self says he suffers from sleep apnea and he ordered prison guards not to resuscitate him if he stopped breathing. The 54-year-old says in a lawsuit filed in federal court that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his right to refuse medical treatment when he stopped breathing in 2009.
Self tells the Denver Post death would be a welcome relief after he was convicted in 2003 of killing 24-year-old Leah Gee, who was pregnant. Self says Gee shot herself. A Colorado prisons spokeswoman says the state has not been served with Self's lawsuit and she could not comment about the case because it is in litigation.
Self is serving a life sentence in Sterling Correction Facility in Sterling, Colo. for the murder of Gee. But Self claims innocence and has filed nine appeals of his conviction, one with the U.S. Supreme Court, according to the Denver Post.
TIME Magazine describes the Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order as a legal document that patients, or their loved ones, sign that states “extraordinary means” should not be taken to save their life. Typically this means CPR and other life support techniques, drugs and technology will not be used to save a person’s life with a DNR order, according to the Colorado Bar Association.
Apparently mom and dad did not want to have a party. A 17-year-old boy is accused of bludgeoning his parents with a hammer, then hosting dozens of friends for a party while their bodies lay in the bedroom, police said Monday.
Tyler Hadley of Port St. Lucie is charged with twin counts of first-degree murder in the deaths, which authorities say happened Saturday. He is being held without bond at a juvenile detention center in Fort Pierce and it's not immediately known whether he has an attorney.
The parents – Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley – were believed to have been struck with the hammer in their heads and torsos sometime after their son posted on Facebook around 1:15 p.m. Saturday alerting friends to an evening party at his house, about 50 miles north of West Palm Beach.
Investigators believe the parents were attacked outside their master bedroom and the bodies were moved into the bedroom and the door locked.
As many as 60 people attended the party that night, according to Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Tom Nichols. They were loud enough to prompt a noise complaint and a visit by police officers. When they arrived at 1:30 a.m. Sunday to warn about the noise, the party was already breaking up, Nichols said.
Then, police said, they received a tip that murder may have taken place. They returned to the home at 4:20 a.m., finding the bodies covered with towels, files, books and other household items, and the hammer between them.
This evil son of Satan was probably not hugged enough as a child or his dad or mom drank or people made fun of him or some other asinine defense he will bring forth in Court. I think he is just a piece of garbage that can only improve the world by being dead.
This will not help reduce the budget and the pro-lifers will not be happy. I do not want to promote promiscuity but it might be cheaper to prevent a bastard than to provide it with welfare for life. This is a tough one. A highly influential panel of medical experts recommended to the U.S. Department of Health on Tuesday that all health insurance plans be legally required to offer free birth control to patients.
The Obama Administration commissioned the non-partisan Institute of Medicine (IOM) panel to recommend which preventative health services all insurance plans should fully cover under the Affordable Care Act. In addition to covering birth control, the IOM suggested in its report that health insurers pay for HPV testing, contraceptive and lactation counseling, HIV screening and breast-feeding equipment.
This is the government once again telling private industry how to operate. The government does so well managing the tax-free tax revenue it receives.
Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too.
