IWA May 14th 2006

Hey folks,

First I want to apologize to the regulars. Those that check out the OPN every day. I was planing on posting three new articles yesterday. I got to one. My obligations elsewhere and life in general sometimes interrupts. I’ll try to let you know in advance when I will be off "line" so you will not be dis-appointed {Smile}

I’m going to save the NYT article for next week. It’s SUNDAY... The lighter side of the OPN. Being Sunday, it’s time for the IWA,, No doubt about this one.

The IWA goes to???? Laura Lee Medley. It’s people like her, that NEED to go to jail. People like her, hurt truly disabled people, clog up our court systems making it harder for people who actually NEED justice, and just plain make me, and should you, sick.

Laura Lee Medley, who is 35, claimed to be paralyzed from a drunk driving accident. Then she attempted to make a living suing at least four California cities over injuries she claimed she sustained while trying to navigate her wheelchair due to their "non-compliance" of the law.

She attempted to do the same when she was arrested for fraud. She complained of medical conditions that prompted Police to take her to the Hospital. It was there that she was "HEALED!" she got up and ran..

She was caught and brought to jail. According to Long Beach prosecutor Belinda Mayes, Medley was apprehended by police and booked pending extradition to San Bernardino, southern California, where she is facing charges of filing false documents, attempted grand theft and insurance fraud. Medley has sued the cities of Long Beach and South Pasadena and counties of San Bernardino and Riverside. She was also being sought on arrest warrants by the states of Oregon and Washington.

Congratulations to you Medley. You are without a doubt, the idiot of the week.
