here's to fox news

i wasn't planning to write anything more about Terri Schiavo, but i came across something so far on the fringe that i had to comment. it seems tv psychic John Edward appeared on a Fox news show recently and gave his views on her state of mind. you can watch the clip here

unfortunately, the sound is out on my office pc so i couldn't hear anything. i'll try to see the clip again when i'm home. until then, i'll content myself with this transcribed excerpt:

From the March 24 edition of Fox & Friends:

DOOCY: You mentioned the Terri Schiavo case. Some might wonder, "Well, you know what, I wonder if he could communicate with her."

EDWARD: I do believe that the soul, the consciousness, can communicate when they're in a state, whether it be a mentally incapacitated person, someone who's in a coma. It's a consciousness, and the soul has a living consciousness. So whether it's in a physical vehicle or not, there is still the ability to connect. Many people will have what they call out-of-body experiences, or astral dreams. Two very living people, that are healthy, could have a kind of connection in a dream state that can be validated. So why not somebody who's in this case?

DOOCY: So she may not be able to talk with her brain, but she can with her soul --

EDWARDS: But she's clear on what's going -- and I can tell you that she's definitely clear on what's happening now around her.
