AP article so excerpted. First of two executions in two days here in Mississippi. This guy had been on death row for more than a decade. The guy getting the needle tomorrow, Gerald James Holland, has been there for 26 years.

I heard on the radio on the drive home this afternoon that it costs $40,000-50,000 a year to keep these people on death row. It's ridiculous. We really need an express lane.

I knew someone else would! :)

A book? I don't know if he's writing a mere book. It's more like a hagiography, I'm sure.

Perhaps. Sorry to derail your thread!

I’m off to bed now, but I do agree...they need to put them to death sooner!

I’m embarrassed to say that my first reaction was, “that seems extreme, but oh well” but then I instantly realized that it had to be someone else.

Good evening Joe. I’m a born and bred West Texas boy. I would surely love to get back there — even if it’s just to be buried.

Woodward is a flaming liberal propagandist.

But isn’t that punishment a bit extreme, even for being a liberal?
