Conservative McCain followers are worried he may pick someone who is…gasp… pro-choice. “McCain’s back-and-forth with voters at New Mexico State University came as Republicans released a schedule for next month’s national convention that gives prominent slots to abortion rights proponents, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, keynote speaker and former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.” But what will he decide?- Aurora Las Encinas Hospital, best known for being associated with Drew Pinsky (aka Dr. Drew of “Loveline” and “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew”), is being looked down upon by the state after three patients died and one was raped in the last five months. Experts say it is rare to see so many patients at a psychiatric hospital die or be harmed in such a short period. Two patients being treated for drug abuse, both died of apparent drug overdoses. This month, a patient receiving help for substance abusers, hanged himself from a wooden beam. One day after his body was found a 14-year-old girl was raped by a 16-year-old patient as hospital staffers and the suspects probation officer slept nearby.
- The Metrolink killer (as they are now calling him) Juan Manuel Alvarez, was sentenced to 11 consecutive life prison terms for triggering a commuter train crash that killed 11 people, when he allegedly tried to kill himself by parking his truck on the train tracks but jumping out at the last minute. The judge then criticized Alvarez for lacking genuine remorse for the crash. He told Alvarez, 29, that “if there were a sentence ‘forever,’ I would certainly give it to you.” Talk about adding insult to injury.
