Mary Jo Buttafuoco's New Book Aims to Help Others Living With 'Sociopaths' By LEE FERRAN Seventeen years after she was shot in the face by her then husband's teenage lover, Mary Jo Buttafuoco called her ex-husband Joey Buttafuoco a "sociopath and a liar." "I believed him when he said he had nothing to do with her [shooter Amy Fisher]," Mary Jo told "Good Morning America" today in an exclusive interview. "He was a very good sociopath and a liar. ...When I thought about it and looked it up on the Internet, and looked at sociopathic tendencies ... I said 'Oh my God.'" Joey filled all the criteria, she said. In May 1992, Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered her front door at her Long Island home to see 16-year-old Amy Fisher point a gun at her face and fire. Fisher had been having an affair with Mary Jo's husband, Joey, who was more than twice Fisher's age. Mary Jo Buttafuoco miraculously survived the close range shot...

Dr. Devin J. Starlanyl Remarks Invisible Illnesses Conference Washington, DC (May 11, 2002) Thanks for all the other wonderful people who have taken so much time and effort to bring about this event. Look around you. Most of us here, those with chronic invisible illnesses, share more with each other than we do with our blood relatives. About 10 years ago, I created a word, FMily, to express the bond that we share. It’s not just people with fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain that share this bond. We all have in common invisible illness, and many of us have more than one. We are a FAMILY, as close as any troops who have been through war together and survived. Welcome, everyone, to the first National Family Reunion. Immobility is difficult for us. It’s okay to move around, stretch, or whatever you need to be as comfortable as possible. I do understand. I’ll teach you a few tricks to help. Contract the muscles on one side of your buttocks, and then relax them, and then do the same w...

From NoQuarter National Horror 101 ALERT! Obama uses Bait and Switch to get college kids into his candy house before he eats them. No. That is not an exaggeration. This is me. Father Eastan. I offer a call to action at the end of this piece. I hope, after reading about this deception, you will consider getting on your horse and riding down main street yelling the BrownShirts are coming - the BrownShirts are coming! Read on. This got me angry. On Obama’s website there is a line for students: Recipients of the credit will be required to conduct 100 hours of community service. Students will think OK. I go to college. When I get out I put in a few hours at ACORN. Cool. But if you download the actual plan you will see the rest of the FULL sentence. Recipients of the credit will be required to conduct 100 hours of community service a year, either during the school year or over the summer months. The intention of leaving the last part of the offer off of the web site is to lure the ki...

WORLD AIDS DAY According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35. Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world . Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is not just about raising money, but also about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

MY OXFORD DICTIONARY IS IN FLAMES! I got my B.A. in English Literature. Yeah, I know - really useful. (It's ok - I picked up a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. and a paralegal degree - also really useful ;) so misuse of English is like nails on a blackboard to me. I know I probably mess up and misspell stuff on this blog but I tend to be a stickler for spelling & syntax on the most part. But this? This is just... WRONG! "Childrens do learn," Bush tells school kids Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn." Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centerpiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on improved test scores. The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teac...

EDUCATION OR PROPAGANDA? Wait, did I read that right? Israel's EDUCATION Minister approved calling the 1948 War of Independence a "disaster for Palestinians?" What the heck is going on over there? Olmert, Peres and Tamir? There's the door, don't let it hit you on the way out! Mr. Tamir, the Arabs are expressing their feelings quite well - they're call Kassams, Honor Killings and Suicide Bombers... they don't need your help! Likud, NRP leaders call for education minister's dismissal By Or Kashti and Haaretz Staff The leaders of Likud and the National Religious Party Sunday called for the dismissal of Education Minister Yuli Tamir, shortly after Tamir announced that her ministry had approved a textbook for Israeli Arab schools that says the Arabs refer to the 1948 War of Independence as "Nakba," meaning "catastrophe" or "disaster." In an unprecedented move, the ministry has approved a geography text for third-grade children...
