By now you probably know the sad, awful story of Jahi McMath, the Oakland, California 13-year-old who suffered complications after a complex tonsillectomy, leaving her brain-dead. Her family, however, refuses to accept that "no blood flow to the brain" and "no electrical activity in the brain or brain stem" are the same as "really, actually dead." So since December 12, they have kept her body alive, on a ventilator, and hope to move her to a long-term care facility where machines will continue to make her heart pump and her lungs breathe, even though brain death is final and irreversible -- this is not a persistent vegetative state like that of Terri Schiavo; this is just plain death.
Uh-oh: SCOTUS puts the brakes on ghey marriage in Utah. How could an important issue like this go forward without some trolling and snark from Mr Justice Nino?
This whole situation is one of the saddest fucking things ever, and we have to have Fox yammering heads encouraging the parents to do *what might not be in the best interest of the dead child* just to score political points.
I've been an organ donor since my first drivers license at 16. Everyone here should be- no excuses (unless your religion forbids it). Sign the card, register at the website, do the right thing...
Huckabee can go fuck himself. This is a family matter, and as a good Christian he should shut his fucking piehole and continue to rant about the Bad Black Man in the White House. Better yet, talk more about your policies on regulating women's health care. That's will give Ann Coulter a giant erection of her Adam's apple.
<blockquote>&ldquo;Every life has value and worth,&rdquo; Huckabee told his viewers on Saturday. &ldquo;There is no such person who is disposable, one whose life has been deemed by others to be less than others and therefore expendable, I can&rsquo;t share that.&rdquo;</blockquote>
Mike Huckabee on Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning: <i>Who ever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason and I think anything less than execution too kind a penalty.</i>
Mike Huckabee on the death penalty: <i>I actually carried out the death penalty 16 times more than any governor in my state&rsquo;s history</i>
Mike Huckabee on death of bin Laden: <i>It is unusual to celebrate a death, but today Americans and decent people the world over cheer the news that madman, murderer and terrorist Osama Bin Laden is dead.</i>
<i>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s also that culture that allowed the Nazis to hideously justify the savage slaughter of millions of Jews, disabled people, old people and those with mental illness,&rdquo;</i>
Teh gheys. I wonder why he forgot to mention teh gheys.
10th will really uphold? Hope nobody gets splattered by all the exploding heads in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Phil Farmer libel!

Not until every last campaign contribution has been milked by using this family.
Now THIS is the episode of Walking Dead I want to see!
This right wing obsession with the preborn and postdeath is just fucking stupid. How about some obsessing on the health of the in-betweens?
I saw an article about her being pregnant this morning. It seems to have disappeared. Journalism!

Nice of Huckabee to offer to pay the cost of her care.
Oh wait, he wasn&#039;t that into her.
