Dan Collins asked me lately "why are you not posting" and I have to say that it is work, and I have a terrible case of floaters which requires me to suffer the indignity of proof-reading or the shame of the resulting equivalent of Charles Bonnet syndrome in my writings.

If it weren't for the meddling with *MYSPACE*. Although Missouri authorities declined to file charges against Drew for her participation/ approbation of a scheme to fool a child into revealing confidences to a Trojan Boy (a false internet persona created exclusively to reel her in and gain her confidence), Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have charged her with illegal misuse of the

I'll update later with more detailed reaction to this statement by the prosecutor.Here is one place where I part company with Jack Banas, the St. Charles prosecuting attorney, who justified his decision not to charge Drew with a criminal offense related to the internet harrassment of Megan Meier:

A full copy of the police report screencap (shown in a post below) that names Lori Drew, and contains an narrative of her statements.She is apparently aggrieved that her neighbors are "hostile" and wishes to gain a hearing and/or absolution from the Meiers. She tried three times. On the Thanksgiving weekend just following Megans death. By banging on the door. After being asked to leave. So

It's near fiction that by calling Lori Drew by name, I exposed her to the contempt of the world. That her name was ever really concealed or concealable, once the first story about this emerged, and so many clues given, is perhaps a comforting fiction for those of use who live in the modern world, but it is pure pretense. It was readily available to anyone who wanted it ; it would take a

However you may feel Lori Drew has sown the wind, and must reap the whirlwind, restrain yourselves from illegal harrassment of all forms, please. I thought it incumbent upon me to mention the obvious. It occurred to me that tort reform efforts of 20+ years duration have been rather effective. Ask a person if they intend to sue, and they are almost offended, as if to do so would be a sign of

Please excuse the lameness and scarcity of Bluemerle lately. I have a nasty bit of business going on with my thyroid, my ill mother, and stuff like banging my perfectly good arm into the door jam and busting up tendons so that I can't even enjoy the fact that I have delayed disfiguring surgery another month. I always seem to get a broken bone or mashed finger or bit lip the instant I start to

My neck is driving me crazy. It's absorbing most of my energy right now, and has sucked most of the hummus out of my bones.Hope I can get on the ball before too long. But at least I have one thing to be very happy about....Right now I'm off to buy a new big flag and several little ones. My neighbor from across the way, a very fine man, husband and father of four, returns home from Iraq after

When the butcher stepped out seconds later, the customer's severed left hand lay on the floor by the meat saw, Asghar said.

Lets all say mass. Mass in the fricking thyroid. Am I toasty like Renquist? Probably not. Anaplastic thyroid cancer, which typically results in death within 11 months, is pretty much the worst case scenario, but it's also the rarest and least likely, even given my clinical picture which includes symptoms that are more concerning for malignancy.I've been complaining of them - a feeling of
