She is VERY lucky. That will decrease the amount of disability she will have as opposed to an injury across both hemispheres.

I do not have sufficient photoshop skills for this task, but I’m sure someone will come along and remedy that. 🙂

Oh, and “Hello”, by the way. I started reading some of the ScienceBlogs a few months ago when I reentered school, and now I’m hooked. Thanks for all of the great info and funny, intelligent comments.

That’s easy enough to verify.

The very fact this guy is seemingly mentally unbalanced and partly schizophrenic just allows the wingnuts to back out of being to blame for anything. The Mata Hari like ‘family/momma’ figures being encouraged by mega conservative media to push violent and savage behavior as justified is the most insidiously disgusting thing of this far rightwing movement. I suppose regardless of touting conservative Christian ‘Fore Fathers’, the true mantra pagan worship should be ‘Das Mutterland’ pushed by mothers.

I wouldn’t bet on him being found sane enough to stand trial based on what I’ve seen so far.

PS: Tucson — It’s Arizona, not Italy.
