Jim Moran’s Town Hall Meeting

I recorded about half of Jim Moran’s town hall meeting from C-SPAN Tuesday night and just finished watching it.  Am I missing something, or are these things a total waste of time?  Have they always been this animated or is this a recent development?

Things Unrelated To Michael Jackson

Here are some things I’ve learned recently from the No Agenda podcast, which I have not seen mentioned anywhere else in mainstream media.  (The podcast is a terrible production but at least they have interesting topics - usually.)  Investigations on any of these subjects would make it much more interesting to watch the news.

Bill Richardson Handicaps His Own Campaign [updated]

So far, I like the second-tier 2008 presidential candidates a lot more than the first-tier candidates. One of them, Bill Richardson, has just signed a bill allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes in New Mexico, according to CNN. At the risk of sounding cynical, this sounds like something that will probably doom him to remain in the second tier.

Sisters Must Face Harsh Reality [updated]

Quick followup: Michelle Malkin ever-so-quietly remarked that Andrea Clarke Has Died. Yes, under the care of the newly installed pro-life Dr. Lentz, she died anyway.

More From Chincoteague [updated]

I heard an update on the story of that 16-year-old from Chincoteague this morning on the radio: The state is forcing him to undergo chemotherapy again. The Richmond Times-Dispatch has a few more details: Teen loses bid to pick treatment. They still don't say what the odds of successful treatment are, but Jimmy Barrett on the radio implied they were not too good. So I guess the state wants to make sure this kid suffers as much as possible before he dies. Yuck. Reportedly, the parents will be appealing decision.

Sad Story From Chincoteague [updated]

On the radio this morning I heard about a 16-year-old Chincoteague teen with Hodgkin's Disease who refuses to undergo a second round of chemotherapy treatment, because the first round didn't work and he didn't tolerate the chemo very well. He wants to pursue alternative treatments, and his parents support him. It's a sad story, but to my way of thinking, not terribly controversial.
