"I was wondering how Wright was gonna tie the Clintons to
Jesus' crucifixion. "

LINCOLN, Neb., March 21 (UPI) -- Federal prison officials have denied a dying Nebraska girl's wish for a visit with her father.

Jayci Yaeger, 10, has brain cancer, KETV in Omaha reports.

"She wants her dad," her mother, Vonda Yaeger, said. "She goes to her room crying because she wants her dad."

Vonda Yaeger said she has been told by officials at the prison in Yankton, S.D., that her daughter's illness is not an "extraordinary circumstance."

Jason Yaeger has been imprisoned for almost five years on a methamphetamine conviction. He is scheduled to be released next year.

U.S. Bureau of Prisons policy allows furloughs because of family troubles, with wardens deciding when a request is justified and can be granted safely.

"We've never asked them to release him early -- never asked them to change anything," Vonda Yaeger said. "We've asked them to just give him some time to be here."

She said she is especially frustrated that her husband is scheduled to be transferred to a halfway house in Omaha in August. That would make visits with Jayci easy, but she said her daughter may not live that long.

This is a personal issue for me. I have seen it first hand just gut SF gay community. I have had to take in a friend who suddenly found himself homeless after abusing meth. I have lost two friends, including a pretty close, die of over doses. I have had one guy high on meth break into my home in the Castro to take a shower. I have another friend who "slammed" (injected) for 20 years. He remains a friend but he is hard to deal with. He is effectively bi-polar or paranoid schizophrenic. Functional but volatile.

If experience is any guide the GOP strategy is one of belittlement, and it works. We've had the internet, earth tones, windsurfing, lockboxes, etc. When the Obama campaign shrieks over something fairly innocuous and expects everyone to be outraged, the MSM and GOP will hardly be able to contain the chortles.

Hey, KO?  A real journalist -- say, Ed Murrow -- would have done his homework on these "just words" by Richardson, or at least would have caught them when he said them again tonight, and a real journalist would have confronted him with his hypocrisy.  

But then, unwillingness to confront hypocrisy is why KO had all the mirrors in his dressing room removed.

It seems that, when an Obama supporter falls into a deeply angst-ridden post about the latest insufferable injustice in the race for the Democratic nomination - but there is no Clinton supporter near enough to hear - then s/he does not make a sound.
