From failed governor Bill Richards, no less. Anybody wonder why this hasn't made any main-stream news service?

ALBUQUERQUE - Gov. Bill Richardson has directed the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department to start reporting violent juvenile criminals who are foreign nationals to federal immigration authorities.

The agency has not been reporting them to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since 2006, when then-Secretary Mary-Dale Bolson suspended a state regulation requiring CYFD to do so, according to a copyright story Tuesday in the Albuquerque Journal.

That regulation required CYFD to report all foreign nationals entering its system. The rule was in place when Juan Gonzalez, a Mexican national who's now 20, was accused in 2005 of raping a 6-year-old boy and molesting a 3-year-old girl.

CYFD spokeswoman Romaine Serna says the governor's directive resulted from a recent case where Gonzalez is accused of molesting a 6-year-old girl at an Albuquerque gym.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / A more plausable conspiracy theory than 9/11

During his campaign, Obama was solidly against offshore drilling. Then, in a feigned attempt to satisfy the right, he agreed to some offshore drilling, while inviting environmental groups to file lawsuits to keep it from actually happening. Suddenly, an oil platform explodes causing an ecological disaster that will put US offshore drilling back in the deep freeze for the foreseeable future. Coincidence? Discuss.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Health care!

« on: February 24, 2010, 09:21:23 PM »

If there are any government-run health care still around, here is another story about the fantastic experiences they have in the U.K., the shining example of national health.

Patients were routinely neglected or left “sobbing and humiliated” by staff at an NHS trust where at least 400 deaths have been linked to appalling care.

An independent inquiry found that managers at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust stopped providing safe care because they were preoccupied with government targets and cutting costs.

The inquiry report, published yesterday by Robert Francis, QC, included proposals for tough new regulations that could lead to managers at failing NHS trusts being struck off.

Staff shortages at Stafford Hospital meant that patients went unwashed for weeks, were left without food or drink and were even unable to get to the lavatory. Some lay in soiled sheets that relatives had to take home to wash, others developed infections or had falls, occasionally fatal. Many staff did their best but the attitude of some nurses “left a lot to be desired”.
