A kentucky woman became the second person charged with fetal homicide today . She went to the hospital bleeding; a fetus was found on her back porch and she was charged under the fetal homicide law.

If they find the baby was born alive she will be charged with murder.

She had hidden the pregnancy from those around her.

Do we really want to criminalize her actions? What can have driven her to this dire decision?

I didn't happen to see any other diaries on this so here goes (I'm sure if I'm in error I'll be corrected...)

While our "Boy Governor" was in Japan making nice with Toyota (howdy Toyota! thanks for the hybrids!!) our Democratic Attorney General convened a grand jury and subpoenaed a bunch of state computers including BlackBerrys.

The AG, Greg Stumbo, is investigating charges that the hiring system under Fletcher (the guv) was blatantly partisan. Some of the emails that the party workers sent to each other would rather seem to confirm this. Read More

Time magazine has a piece about tom delay and the cigar , a fine cuban he was smoking in Israel as well as a quote from DeLay that smoking cuban cigars taints our national honor.

My favorite part is the review of the cigar in question, which says the cigar has a "childish naughtiness character."

How apt.

Seems like his famous tight security has a few holes... a dissenting voice was actually heard not once but THREE times during his hourlong speech. Each time the shouter was escorted out.

The administration causes bob edwards to hearken back to the good old mccarthy days.

The Louisville Courier Journal examines Bush's facts.. or lack thereof.

The Lexington Herald Leader describes bush's talk, with only a minimum of snark. :)

Fight on, y'all

Anyone need some data analyzed?

I am taking a time series class and we have to analyze some real data. I could do amazon.com's closing price over the past couple of years but does anyone have anything more interesting?

The data should be observations of a value taken at regular intervals, daily weekly or whatever. There should be at least 100 observations.

The analysis will use Box-Jenkins methodology to model the data as an ARIMA process. I'll send you a copy of my report if you'd like, at the end.

Anyone? Anything cool?

thanks for reading.

I can't figure outif it's true or not, but the link (which i got from whatreallyhappened.com ) is to the UK's daily mirror.

napalm???

I'm actually trying not to read much news but I can't help it. All these news stories settle into my stomach like lead. Every day I hear about something that makes me nauseous and fills me with dread. It's apocalyptic. And those neocons want the apocalypse to come.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way, since the neocons and their letters to the editor try to make me feel like i'm a lunatic. Then I remember there are 57 million other people who are watching this train wreck with just as much horror as I feel.

I'm tired of signing petitions.

When will WE march in the streets?

election fraud... so what?

Even if the election was stolen, what then? Does anyone honestly think George Bush's smiling face won't be smiling at us from the White House come January?

Who will reverse this? Even if all the Democratic lawyers in the country filed suit tomorrow, the issues would not be resolved in time for the inauguration. I think the best we could hope for is a more fair election in 2008 but i'm not holding my breath.

I don't want to hear any more about what we're doing wrong. We didn't do anything wrong. Kerry was a dream candidate. He would have made an awesome president. He's intelligent, steady, strong and he fights for liberal values that I believe in.

Those values are: not legislating faith. Environmental responsibility. Raising the minimum wage. A strong middle class rather than a huge mass of poor people and one or two superrich dudes.

These values won't go away just because Bush won. I believe they will bring us forward into the future. The gay bashing and abortion fearmongering is a good way to grab a conservative by the gut but Bush's economic policy is still garbage and his war "plan" is still faulty.

Democrats got f*cked on tuesday, and if the b!tch get pregnant, NO ABORTION. We have to carry this baby to term... four years of unwanted bush related gestation. However, just because the mob wants it doesn't make it right.

We need to continue to stand up for fiscal responsibility and a better life for all.

Texas ownz us now. DeLay, Bush... where is the money coming from (besides deluded little old ladies)? Drugs (the CIA and the Afghans have a long and prosperous history), and oil.

I'm already boycotting Afghan heroin, but here's a game everyone can play. Don't buy gas from US companies.

spread the word.. buy your gas from shell, a dutch company or BP, british petroleum. Don't buy US gas. Hit 'em in the wallet, where it really hurts.
