Last night on one of the news shows, Al Franken was discussing Terri Schiavo. He kept insisting she is “brain dead.” Even after one of the other guests — a physician — corrected him numerous times, explaining the concept of brain death, Franken persisted.

I think Al Franken is brain dead.

JHSiess successfully represented the late Florence Wendland and Rebekah Vinson in the landmark California case, Conservatorship of Wendland. Her writings here are dedicated to revealing her unique perspective. Siess is quick to point out that she felt from the case's inception that she was called to handle it as a matter and test of her commitment to the law and specific principles of social justice. Accordingly, she makes no pretense about being objective here and stresses that objectivity is not the goal. Rather, it is her hope that all who read about the protracted litigation that ended with a victory in the California Supreme Court for her clients, but Robert Wendland's death before the win was assured, will resolve never to let their family members speculate about their desires in the event of catastrophic illness or injury -- and not only talk in detail with their loved ones about their wishes, but also commit them to writing. Siess says she is confident you will, after learning what Robert Wendland's family members, caregivers and friends, in addition to the attorneys, judges and justices involved in this case endured, resolve never to permit your loved ones to become embroiled in such a battle.

    What a travesty to think that we in Minnesota have actually elected this idiot to anything short of dog catcher. As my mother use to say “I am not only ashamed of you I am ashamed for you”. This guy is so far over his head it’s not even funny. He is incapable of anything. Once the he starts running around Congress and they realize what an idiot he is there is hope that they will come to their senses and impeach him for being incompetent. We here in Minnesota actually elected this moron and sent him to Washington, DC. I can’t believe it!
