Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

Tuesday, March 14, 2006; Posted: 9:27 a.m. EST (14:27 GMT)

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died after being struck by a train, officials said.

Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said.

A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.

McAvoy, who had been deaf since birth, won the state title in June and represented the state "with dignity and pride," state pageant director Laura Loeb-Hill told The Associated Press via e-mail Monday night.

McAvoy was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer, Loeb-Hill said.

McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb-Hill said.

You crack me up. You might be the only thing funnier than a deaf miss texas not hearing a train whistle blasting behind her.

And funny in the same, sad, unfortunate way as well. . .

I didn't find it funny at all, but I see no point in slamming on Lee. He obviously understands the moral issues. I didn't notice him mocking the woman or attacking her.
I think the ability to find a sense of humor in grim things is important in coping with the grim things we often face.

a) I am flattered that you would put me in the same league as Satan. Who I understand to be a fictional bad guy in your mythological pantheon.

b) virtually none of what I do or say has anythign to do with you. You just exist on the periphery. This thread has to do with finding inappropriate humour in something horrible.

What do you guys expect? Lee killed Terry Shivo after all! LOL!

I love dark humor. Especially when it’s ironic. I don’t think lee was laughing because she was killed. I think he was laughing because she was deaf. Wait, that doesn’t make it sound any better, does it?

Yeah... you'd have to be a total dick to make a joke about Cheney shooting an old man in the face.


Cheney Roasted at Gridiron Club Dinner

WASHINGTON (March 12) - President Bush headlined the annual Gridiron Club political press roast Saturday night, but Vice President Dick Cheney was the main target of the humor.

Cheney's well-publicized Texas hunting accident last month, drew ridicule from the press corps and all the speakers, including the president.

Bush pointed out that the vice president's full name is Richard B. Cheney.

"B. stands for bulls eye," Bush said to laughter from the hundreds of reporters and officials from the administration and Congress. The press, Bush joked, blew the matter way out of proportion: "Good Lord, you'd thought he shot somebody or something."

pedxing would have given his typical passive-aggressive "While I agree that sometimes it is ok to laugh at people's foibles, this particular matter requires delicate care. Sarge/Nigal can be a little over the top at times, and I would suggest they reconsider his view on this matter. Perhaps he just got caught up in the heat of the moment and was not thinking, although I think he is capable of a great sense of humor under normal circumstances."

Typical. V gets called out and then uses Bush as an excuse. So you are saying you and Bush have the same morals then, right?

sorry that Ped offered up a rational perspective on the whole thing.


It detracts from the fact that it is completely inappropriate, tasteless and sick.



Which, is of course, what makes it hysterical.

So having a dark sense of humor makes you a bad person?

I would disagree with that opinion.
