Seven pounds and change, 20 inches long and a buncha black hair. Last I heard Dr. Who and Nate baby were doin' OK. Got the call just before midnight last night so I guess that means Elijah was born March 30.
Congrats to all at Nate's Peep Paradise!
WooHoo! Another nephew!
Now why does a Hank Williams tune keep runnin' around in my head?

No news on the birthing front.......yet.
Note the timestamp on this post. It's Wednesday evening and Nate's at hospital w/ Dr. Who. I got a report this morning that there was a problem with the baby's heartbeat during labor, so they slowed things down a bit. Cross your fingers and say your prayers, folks.
Still waiting on Elijah!
On a lighter note I did add a link to "Nate's Peep Paradise". He will be so pleased.

Spacebunny Goes Tactical
Lifted from Nate's:
As they say, "possession is nine-tenths of the law". Think what a better chance the family would have to keep her alive had they only followed SB's advice. Though I suspect they have been thinking they fell down the hole with Alice for a month now. (The situation was probably unimaginable.) They would HAVE physical custody of their daughter and the judge would have to order her removed from theirs into the shithead's tender care. Law enforcement would have to ACT to kill her, rather than just preventing someone acting to save her. Whole different ballgame! Can you see judge grim and his Barney Fife squad executing an Elian Gonzalez(sp?) type raid to return her to the custody of those who wish her dead? Her dad, with a .38 snub, could hold them off to a buffer of 100 yards, probably more, by firing into the air! Make sure the rest of the family are Dad's hostages so only he goes to jail when some judge somewhere finally decides to lift the death sentence on his daughter and Mom and the rest are still around to care for her. Have a brother or two in reserve in case they try again. I know many who have a month's worth of food/water without even tryin'. The county isn't going to pay for the deputies to sit around that long drinkin' coffee and cowering behind their vehicles, especially if Dad works the media to his advantage. Factor in some forethought, and this becomes a very winnable situation at least in the short term.
SB says,
.....you are making the erroneous assumption that Nate and UO and others would have waited this long. There has not always been this kind of guard on her and if someone were trying to kill my child (remember this has been going on a very long time, not just the past few weeks) I would have had her out of there years ago (when he first petitioned to remove her feeding tube) and there wasn't the security.

The curious affair of Terri Shiavo and Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
Perhaps it’s just that I haven’t been reading much commentary lately, but while lots of folks are criticizing the Bush brothers for their feeble and perhaps cynical use of Terri Schiavo for political gain, I got to wondering about the timing of all this. What one thing has come out of this that will stick in the mind of Johnny work-a-day?
Here's what I think: That these judges are not only getting sillier by the minute, but they are starting to get out of hand. The seed has been planted in the back of every man's mind that some fat no-account ambulance chasing liar-for-a-living may one real day hold his fate in its pale puffy putrid hands. They just might need takin’ down a notch, eh?
And just how many seats on the Supreme Court are coming open? After the Bush brothers made a conspicuous run at these judges ("black robes" they says, homebaked demigods says I) I don’t see GW having a lot of trouble getting constructionist judges past the senate. No one will take significant notice that several Republican appointees participated in the murder of Terri Schiavo and they will beat the opposition with the Terri Schiavo stick until none are left opposing them excepting Barney Lispingfag Frank.
In this scenario the Brothers Bush may not save Terri, in fact she MUST die in order for it to work. Machiavelli is smiling somewhere; hot as it may be.

Shout out to the King of the Peeps !
So, Nate, what was in that Easter basket Welldigger sent your way?
Nothin' like the considerate love of a brother to make the world seem a better place, eh?
Happy Easter to all!
And, Nate, don't hog all the peeps; Share with Jeb.

Orson Get's it Right
One of my favorite authors of SF/ fantasy is Orson Scott Card. I was shocked this morning to see he had a commentary on Terry Schiavo. One of the most well reasoned and thought out pieces I've read so far.
The quadriplegics who learn to paint with a brush held between their teeth.
Helen Keller.
Stephen Hawking.
I suppose, though, that we should have simply killed them as soon as the incurability of their problems became obvious. After all, what “quality of life” could they possibly have?
Enjoy.
