I’m Okay Six Months After My Blood Test

Posted by Adam Graham on August 10, 2005

I got a letter from my doctor yesterday indicating that my “test results were abnormal.” The funny thing is that the pathology was run on some blood tests and a lesion that was removed off my face more than 6 months ago.

The good news is that it doesn’t sound like anything serious. The bad news is that this occurred. Its one of those things where you’re really glad it wasn’t important.

“Mr. Graham, the test you have only have six months to live…Mr. Graham…dang, too late.”

Seriously, doctor’s appointment for next week. Will pre-empt nothing that I do here.

Bush Signs Abomination

Posted by Adam Graham on August 10, 2005

President Bush today signed the pork-laden Highway Bill. Bush has shown no will to stand up to this Congress and at this point no vetoes is a sign that he’s not serious about cutting spending and Congress has a blank cheque to spend us blind.

Whatever happened to fiscal responsibility? Its time to get serious about the deficit, serious about government spending. Its immoral to drown our nation in debt. Neither side can be trusted on this issue. The Democrats who attack Bush today tolerated three decades of deficit spending. We need a leader who will get us back to a balanced budget. Sad fact is no president since Reagan has been willing to veto a spending bill except for Clinton who only did it when the GOP congress wanted to balance the budget too fast.

What our current situatio is that in order to stimulate economic growth (and keep their jobs), Congress is spending the nation into debt. Its like putting everything on a Credit Card and hope it never comes due. It won’t in the lifetime of these congressman, but for a lot of us Americans, it will.

Ka-Ching: Michael Schaivo Cashes In

Posted by Adam Graham on August 10, 2005

Well, Michael Schaivo is back in the news. According to the Tampa Bay Tribune after killing his wife with the help of the State of Florida, Michael wants to sue some of Terri’s caregivers for malpractice even though the 2 years statute of limitations has lapsed. Part of the reason for that is that Michael’s spent this time trying to see his wife ends up dead, and now that that’s done, he wants to go ahead and cash in on the malpractice suit dating back quite a while.

I remember Michael Schaivo telling us that he wasn’t going to get a lot of money if Terri died, but if he’d brought this malpractice suit while she was living, a lot of the money would have ended up going for her care. Now, if the court allows this ghoul into court despite being passed the time frame, he’ll get to cash in and he has no shame about any of this.

Keyes: Prosecute Perjured Jacko Jurors

Posted by Adam Graham on August 10, 2005

Alan Keyes is back on Worldnetdaily. As an occassional columnist, he generally posts pretty long essays. This one was short, sweet, to the point and on target. Keyes addresses the issue of Michael Jackson jurors who said they believed Jackson was guilty:

One of the key elements of American liberty is the assumption that an individual is innocent until proven guilty. Now, despite a formal verdict that leaves his innocence intact, Michael Jackson must endure another trial in the media, under accusation from individuals who acted during the trial as sworn officers of the court. This may not satisfy the formal legal definition of double jeopardy, but it raises serious questions about the actual corruption of a legal system that allows sworn officers of the court to continue in the court of public opinion the accusation that they themselves refused to sustain by due process of law.

Given the grave implications of their actions, the jurors who now admit their perjury ought to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The system of trial by jury is critically important to the practice of liberty. If, in a case notorious throughout the land, jurors can openly admit and profit from the failure to do their sworn duty, this casts a corrosive shadow over the whole concept of a fair jury trial.

Brilliant and a lot shorter and probably Keyes’ most readable column in years.
