Solar-powered capital punishment
Sacramento Bee ^ | 5/13/8 | Kevin Yamamura

Nothing like starting out the day with a good death penalty joke.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared Tuesday at a conference on alternative energy in Irvine co-hosted by the University of California, Irvine, the Milken Institute and New Majority California, a group of wealthy moderate Republicans who have donated to the governor.

Schwarzenegger explained how he is trying to bring Democrats and Republicans together.

"So this is why to make sure of that I proposed something entirely new, which is to have a solar-powered electric chair," Schwarzenegger said, provoking laughter. "There's something in there for both parties so everyone can be happy. See, this is how I get things together."

I opt for the running man scenario, explosive necklaces on the prisoners and if they try to escape, blam, they are history! Arrrrrnold is an idiot and I am sorry I voted for him the first time, I didn’t vote for him the second time and I take great pride in that.

I suppose gas-powered abortions would be in the same spirit of compromise.

He lets the rats spend the state into oblivion, that's how he "gets things together."

I am so tired of this bringing them together rhetoric. We do not want them unless they are conservative.

Hybrid is the only way to go. Give them a little CO and a few `trons at the same time.

Hey I got a great idea for an electrified border fence. It’s what I would call bipartisan immigration reform. Something for everyone.

He should try to get Caleeforneeya some carbon offset credits after each execution in return for reducing the state carbon footprint too.

That’s pretty funny, although capital punishment (and the offenses that lead to them ) are no laughing matter.

How about a wind powered catapult for the illegals? That way you make dems and pubbies happy, and put a dent in the number of those sucking the tax payers dry, all at the same time.
