How the hell does Nancy Grace keep her job as host of her own program on CNN’s Headline News channel? I’ve not watched CNN in awhile so I was very surprised when I encountered her for the first time the other day and for a couple of moments I thought I had mistakenly turned to FOX News. She manages to avoid the screaming of Bill “Douchebag” O’Reilly and I’ve yet to hear her tell someone to shut up, but that hasn’t stopped her from being just as obnoxious in her own way.
As I type this she’s beating the Terri Schiavo issue into the ground with interviews of people on both sides of the issue and it’s clear that her bias is that Terri was effectively murdered. When she’s not getting the responses she wants she interrupts with loaded questions instead of letting the people finish what they were saying. She’s been letting one of the doctors who examined Terri really have it over the fact that Terri died of dehydration. To his credit the doctor seems to be keeping his sense of humor about it. When a presbyterian minister launched into him and repeatedly demanded that he explain what it’s like to die of dehydration the doctor said, “Well, if you’d let me I’d be happy to explain to you what it’s like.” Nancy’s trying to compare Terri’s situation to the fact that the Pope is currently on a feeding tube and she keeps rehashing the fact that the Schindler siblings were barred from being in the room when Terri died.
Now she’s complaining about how it became a circus at the end. The irony, of course, is she doesn’t seem to realize she’s one of the acts participating in it. Man, I have to turn this off before I end up throwing a brick through the screen. Wow, she’s a major putz. Unbelievable.



















OK OK - I’m no lawyer. Maybe it’s a precedent, maybe not. Whatever.
But I still say that the accusation, in and of itself, regardless of guilt or innocence, IS a darn good reason to shoot onesself.
Here’s what I know tonight. If you are accused of victimizing a kid there is a heightened probability that people in general will seek revenge against you. You do not need to be guilty. If you are accused you will find yourself being treated (by some) as if you were really guilty. It can affect employment opportunities, and some people may even try to kill you.
Here’s what I dont know. I dont know why we have a prison system and justice dept which seeks to promote suicide among inmates by literally driving them insane. And I dont know what it was that caused the former prosecutor to slip up and try that stuff on a civillian (Melinda).
But I do know that this really is a sort of “backdoor” to the death penalty in our society. These methods can be used in cases where the courts have failed to do their job. If they can drive you to kill yourself, then there is no-oen to blame but you. It’s like getting away with murder. Happens every day.
