If their choice of meal was up to me, I'd give 'em sh#$ sandwiches to eat while viewing autopsy photos of their victims.

Texas has carried out more than three times as many executions as any other state (Virginia, with 81, ranks second).

I really hate coming in second place. Clearly we need to try harder here in the Commonwealth.

"But it would be a disservice to the state of Texas not to mention why these people were on Death Row"


Yes, that should be in the liberal press, not what they ate!

…Texans to the White House in the past 40 years, each of whom has led the US into hot wars: Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam…

News to JFK.

Texas is the only sovereign nation to have joined the Union

News to Hawaiians.

The author failes to mention the VICTIMS! Let's at least read about them.

Richard Williams.......

On March 24, 1997, Williams, Jeanette and the Gillmores drove to the Third Ward in Houston, apparently to buy cocaine for Jeanette and Michelle Gillmore. While Bruce Gillmore stayed in the car, Williams and Michelle Gillmore pushed Jeanette in her wheelchair toward the corner to supposedly purchase the drugs. Williams then grabbed Jeanette's forehead from behind and, using a nine-inch steak knife, slit Jeanette's throat. Once Jeanette fell from her wheelchair, Williams repeatedly stabbed her in the chest. Bruce and Michelle Gillmore drove away and left Williams at the crime scene. They drove to Blueford's house and told him that Williams was crazy, and that Williams had murdered Jeanette. The Gillmores gave Blueford $400 to give to Williams as payment for the murder. They also instructed him not to tell Williams where they were going. MORE HERE.

On February 6 Henry Dunn had also faced death with a hearty appetite......

On the evening of Nov. 30, 1993, Nicolas West borrowed a red Nissan truck from his roommate, Lara Heidelburg, but never returned home. Henry Earl Dunn, Jr., Donald Aldrich and David McMillan kidnapped West from a Montgomery Ward parking lot in Tyler, Texas, and then drove to a clay pit where they fatally shot him. MORE HERE

Hmmm, I always thought that condemned prisoners ordered steak as their last meal. You learn something new every day.

"I want this sucker tortured," said syndicated talk host Greg Knapp. On the next shift, the next host, Glen Beck, picked up the same theme: "If he has any fingernails left, we're not doing our job." Beck noted the large amount of hair on Khalid's back and suggested variousways of removing it.

What sloppy writing. Glenn Beck is syndicated, too, and lives in Philadelphia. So this guy quotes two out-of-state radio hosts to prove --- what? That Texans are bloodthirsty?

He was later administered a lethal injection, the method of execution in Texas since 1972, when electrocution was declared a "cruel and unusual punishment" by the US Supreme Court.

Not quite right.

FRENCH fries in Crawford? I don't think so. Can't even find them in STX anymore. What-a-Burger was the last hold out but they have their act together too, now. :')

Texas and the other states which comprise the top 10 in terms of executions are all among those with the highest proportion of evangelical or born-again Christians,...

A gratuitous swipe.
