Given the allegations that were being made at the time, it made sense for the exams to be done. and yet the results of those exams have disappeared. The results were not presented at the custody hearing for Merrianne Jessop or at the trial of Warren Jeffs. The implications are obvious. The tests failed to prove that Merrianne had been abused.&lt;br /&gt;Emailed Texas CPS. Inquired about SANE exam. Reply said records were confidemtial. They quoted the exact spot in their legal code. Only problem with this is the state of Texas often doesnt obey its own laws. That same code requires the state to establish that the call reporting abuse is not a hoax. They then have 24 hours to respond. They did not check the call and they took 5 days to invade the ranch with a small army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Merrianne Jessop 2. Teresa Jeffs 2. SANE exam 3. Angie Voss 4. Ruby Gutierez 5.

type='text'>Work in Progress</title><content type='html'>The mighty Boehner stood his holy ground,&lt;br /&gt;By manly tears the means to wealth he found.&lt;br /&gt;He meant to aid the holders of that mint,&lt;br /&gt;Which was the reason he to the house went.&lt;br /&gt;Eric Cantor joined the quest for billionairers,&lt;br /&gt;The rabble love themselves and put on aires.&lt;br /&gt;The Koch brothers led the march for wealth,&lt;br /&gt;On to glory they led by means of stealth.&lt;br /&gt;They made certain the deserving kept their loot,&lt;br /&gt;For those who yearned they saw no way to root.&lt;br /&gt;They claimed that super rich are job savers,&lt;br /&gt;Therefore on taxes they must have wavers.&lt;br /&gt;Ideology speaks on these heated terms,&lt;br /&gt;No jobs have been created by our firms.&lt;br /&gt;Jobs are located in Chinese sweat shops,&lt;br /&gt;Where suicide is common by poor sops.&lt;br /&gt;The right-wing theory does not fit the facts,&lt;br /&gt;What they believe is how they make their pacts.&lt;br /&gt;CEOS make huge amounts of cash,&lt;br /&gt;Boehner says that those challenge that are rash.&lt;br /&gt;He offers no explanation for lack of jobs,&lt;br /&gt;The faith in theory counts more than our sobs.&lt;br /&gt;Grover Norquist wanted to kill the government,&lt;br /&gt;To drown it in bathtub was his lament.&lt;br /&gt;He captured any person of his sect,&lt;br /&gt;No taxes was the means to gain respect.&lt;br /&gt;The wealthy do perfectly well by themselves,&lt;br /&gt;Norquist thinks we must help the rich ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;Romney says businesses are people too,&lt;br /&gt;They must have money for good things to do. ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;!.

had much to say,&lt;br /&gt;The sight of horror was enough to quell&lt;br /&gt;All useless words, it was a tragic day.&lt;br /&gt;It was not only the towers that fell,&lt;br /&gt;As security fled down the deep darkest well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little big man hid out in a bunker,&lt;br /&gt;While boogey man defended the country.&lt;br /&gt;All airliners were moved out of danger.&lt;br /&gt;The boogey man would act without pity,&lt;br /&gt;That scarred his soul and left him without one,&lt;br /&gt;He was to be the voice that was insane.&lt;br /&gt;While the wise ones decided it was done,&lt;br /&gt;Little big man could no longer be wain,&lt;br /&gt;He was supposed to lead a land in psychic pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little Big Man talked to stricken country,&lt;br /&gt;With no

alone without the aid&lt;br /&gt;Of all other nations, just he would roar,&lt;br /&gt;He would allow aid from the world to fade.&lt;br /&gt;He would offend Muslems by launching a crusade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little Big Man journeyed to holy ground,&lt;br /&gt;He grabbed bull horn from a heroic man,&lt;br /&gt;Get him dead or alive, the chief was bound&lt;br /&gt;To policy from which he should have ran.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Little Big Man would later state,&lt;br /&gt;The bad man is either dead or alive.&lt;br /&gt;Little Big Man we will show we can hate&lt;br /&gt;At this,

warlords&lt;br /&gt;They knew that terror was always the same&lt;br /&gt;This gave a reason to conquer new worlds&lt;br /&gt;Little Big Man had chance to be new man&lt;br /&gt;They settled on the land of rivers two,&lt;br /&gt;Little Big man was persuaded we can&lt;br /&gt;Do anything, nothing we cannot do,&lt;br /&gt;Little Big Man would be so cocky with his crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boogey man had his soul scorched by day&lt;br /&gt;Of destiny, he could not find his soul&lt;br /&gt;The boogey man could only find the way&lt;br /&gt;Of Bin Laden and imitate his goal.&lt;br /&gt;The boogey man took the Little Big Man&lt;br /&gt;Out on the warlike path where he was tossed&lt;br /&gt;Little big man went forward so he can&lt;br /&gt;Do what his daddy failed to do, he bossed&lt;br /&gt;Himself and some others, only the truth he glossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They fitted the intelligance to plan,&lt;br /&gt;Selected the facts to the truth they told&lt;br /&gt;Those who loved peace found they could not ban&lt;br /&gt;The rush to war by those who were too bold&lt;br /&gt;Led us to a quagmire without a peace&lt;br /&gt;They rushed in where good angels fear to tread&lt;br /&gt;Because they loved faith, not allowing piece&lt;br /&gt;Of actual facts to pierce an actual head,&lt;br /&gt;From their lies would come thousands who are actual dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man said shit happens, we know it did,&lt;br /&gt;They rushed in where the thoughtful fear to tread,&lt;br /&gt;They did Iraq over so they could rid&lt;br /&gt;Of the reality that only they had said&lt;br /&gt;IEDS were in store for our soldier boys&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of dead was the Iraqi fate&lt;br /&gt;Bush played commander-in chief with fierce toys&lt;br /&gt;Our exit would be an elusive date,&lt;br /&gt;On other fields, our small presence would just annoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man who time has come stepped up to test&lt;br /&gt;The policy of change for times of fear.&lt;br /&gt;The man whose time has come to be the best&lt;br /&gt;Moves to pick up the mantle that lies near.&lt;br /&gt;Discordant voices tears apart the air,&lt;br /&gt;Not making easy his difficult task,&lt;br /&gt;What is worthwhile is always very rare.&lt;br /&gt;He hides true feelings with a public mask,&lt;br /&gt;Public obligations is tough for all to wear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

meager wallet could sustain&lt;br /&gt;I saw her lookimg my way with a smile,&lt;br /&gt;That was seductive or so I assumed.&lt;br /&gt;In a short while, I came up with the nerve&lt;br /&gt;To say hello, she said to me "hello",&lt;br /&gt;That was the start of a nice dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;She was not easy to impress with smarts.&lt;br /&gt;She knew almost as much as I about&lt;br /&gt;All those great minds and writers of great books&lt;br /&gt;I thought she liked me by the smiles received&lt;br /&gt;By me when I met her at the bookstore.&lt;br /&gt;I nervously contemplated the quest&lt;br /&gt;Of a night out with the brunette Goddess.&lt;br /&gt;As she did the shelves of books with no&lt;br /&gt;Idea of intent regarding her.&lt;br /&gt;I sought the nerve to ask my angel out&lt;br /&gt;I sought to be privlidged ro spend time&lt;br /&gt;In company with her out on the town.&lt;br /&gt;I asked if I could have a date with her,&lt;br /&gt;I was then crushed by her firm refusal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not have dates with customers,,&lt;br /&gt;I do not mix business with my own time,&lt;br /&gt;Where i have quests I have to resolve.&lt;br /&gt;I have to mediate with my own God&lt;br /&gt;And not the God of orginized churches.&lt;br /&gt;I stay out at my house in the dark woods,&lt;br /&gt;Where I can contemplatethe world as it&lt;br /&gt;Goes by the road I travel to my house.&lt;br /&gt;Each day at work you light the day for me&lt;br /&gt;Amid the clutter of turmoil and books,&lt;br /&gt;But this is not enough for me to yield.&lt;br /&gt;You have no knowledge as I really am&lt;br /&gt;You paint too good a picture of my charms,&lt;br /&gt;You are in love with your angel, not me,&lt;br /&gt;I am a fuddy-dud not an angel&lt;br /&gt;Or anything beyond plain and common.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drove away that day to take my pain&lt;br /&gt;Away and leave my disappointment to&lt;br /&gt;My fate which is to know how I can learn&lt;br /&gt;To come back at life when it fails&lt;br /&gt;To satisfy all my basic desires.&lt;br /&gt;Though I am in the midst of a foul mood,&lt;br /&gt;I know i canot match by any means,&lt;br /&gt;With God or mediate with his insights.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
