THE DAILY BLADE: Actress Grounded After Flying Off The Handle
"Showtime at the Apollo" host Mo'Nique Imes-Hicks was escorted off a United flight after a dispute over a hair dryer that her assistant had placed in an overhead bin in first-class;
Not being a mind reader, The Stiletto cannot know what motivated the flight attendants to give
On a United flight between New York and Chicago a few years back – before Sept. 11 – The Stiletto personally witnessed two flight attendants ganging up on a passenger who was in tears because her connecting flight was taking off without her. They kept goading her until she became enraged, then they called for a flight officer to come to the back of the plane from the cockpit and slap handcuffs on the hapless woman. The Stiletto imagines that she was arrested when the plane landed.
The passenger and the two flight attendants were all white, so racism could not have been to blame in this incident. The Stiletto’s theory: The flight attendants were bored and decided to have some fun at this unlucky passenger's expense.
Parental Notification Hysteria
The New York Times shrieks: “State Removes Abortion Option for Young Girls.”
Pro-abortion Dems were just as over-the-top about Senate legislation making it a federal crime punishable by a fine or up to one year in prison to take a minor to another state for an abortion in order to evade parental notification laws:
- Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA.; “I don’t think the American people support throwing Grandma in jail because she embraced her granddaughter and said, ‘Oh my God, I’m worried that your dad may hurt you if you tell the truth,’.”
An underage girl still has the option of getting an abortion – and without forcing Grandma to help her deceive her parents and then get thrown in the slammer for her trouble; or fearing she will be beaten within an inch of her life by her infuriated father; or being put in the untenable position of notifying the incestuous father who impregnated her:
Like the House bill passed in April 2005 (H. R. 748), an underage girl may comply with local parental notification laws by confiding in a parent or a guardian or a legal custodian or a person standing in loco parentis with whom she lives or the State – that is to say, a judge.
“Notification” need not even be given in person – as in, “Mom, Dad, I’ve been having sex with my boyfriend, got pregnant and want to get an abortion.” The news can be delivered via “certified mail, return receipt requested, restricted delivery” to the last known address of the person being notified.
The bill’s provisions do not apply if the abortion is necessary because the girl’s “life was endangered by a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.”
In addition, both the House and Senate versions of the bill include an amendment that subjects a father who has committed incest and takes his minor daughter to another state for an abortion to a fine and jail.
