Some news articles have good endings and this is one of them.

The only sad thing is that it took 5 years instead of 5 minutes, but better late than never.

He’ll be taking his last rap to his grave.

With no apologies to Johnny Cochran, I got inspired by the rhyme.

I can’t wait!

I was too busy collecting petitions to stop this senseless killing.

David Alejandro owned and operated a music recording studio where musicians could have their music professionally recorded for a fee. This business required the use of various pieces of electronic equipment such as computers, soundboards and microphones. Ray Jasper and some of his friends frequently recorded their rap music at the studio. At some point, Jasper decided to steal Alejandro's equipment in order to make money from its sale. Aware that Alejandro would be able to identify him, Jasper also decided to kill Alejandro so that there would be no witnesses. He enlisted the help of two friends to assist in removing the heavy equipment from the studio. On November 21, 1998, Jasper purchased large bags from an Academy store. On November 30, he and his accomplices drove two vans to Alejandro's studio. Jasper and one accomplice carried concealed knives. The three had made an appointment at the studio and spent about two hours there while Alejandro recorded their music before they decided it was time to kill him. Jasper slashed Alejandro's throat from ear to ear, but did not kill him. Jasper and one accomplice continued to attack Alejandro until he died as a result of multiple stab wounds to his chest and abdomen. Jasper covered the body with a sheet taken earlier from Jasper's bed, and the group began loading equipment into the vans.

Can anybody explain to me why you don’t pronounce the C in ‘rap’?

Hopefully, you’ve got some Tupac on MP3 playing in the vehicle.

Way back in the 1970s, I was stranded in the local public library for most of a day while waiting for some mechanical work to be completed on my car about four blocks away.

Went into the stacks and microfilms of old popular American magazines from the mid-1930s. They were absolutely nauseating about how they gushed over Hilter as a ladies' man, an impeccable dresser, man of fine culture with impeccable taste in art, classical music, yada, yada, yada.

Some of the magazines are, of course, defunct now. But others such as Time and Newsweek are still publishing.

Those who think our modern media giving BO the Monica Lewinsky treatment is a new development might be surprised at just how long this stuff has been going on.

Texas is Texas.

Likely the prison might be making them in the infirmary. They might have set up their own small lab and have a set of chemists making them and then giving the drugs to the people who administer them to the convict. I watched a documentary about the process of the execution and I thank God daily that I still manage to stay straight.
