Ohio and Washington have been using sodium thiopental alone in high doses for lethal injection, draining the supplies when coupled with the Texas death penalty express lane.  You’d think Texas would just shoot ‘em. Maybe now they will have to.

Seriously? Teabaggers threatened Heart because of Sarah Palin? I didn’t think they could be any more annoying.

The law he was prosecuted under was legislated to stop crush videos, where women in high heels step on and kill small animals.  People get off on this?  But, like most laws, this one was subvertedby who knows what group (PETA cough cough) and then implemented in ways that were unintended.

For instance, one of the videos used to convict Mr. Stevens, the producer of these tapes, showed a dog catching a wild boar and holding it until the hunter arrived.  This isn’t an uncommon thing in hunting.  And yet, under this law, any video of it is illegal.  Dove hunting is illegal in ten states.  If you were to videotape somebody shooting a dove in one of these states, or sell that video in one of these states, you would be committing a criminal act.  Same thing with Bull fighting.

The animal rights groups want to make animal cruelty the equivalent of child pornography, and have made that comparison.

And the sentence that Mr. Stevens received?  Three years.  Twice as long as Michael Vick, who actually held dog fights and killed dogs in a heinous manner.  Whatever happened to common sense?  There are animal abuse laws on the books.  Enforce them.  Vigorously.  Don’t take the easy out, or it will backfire on you and me.  Hopefully you more than me.

You would think that he’d be getting some sort of recognition award from the city, but nope, they just want to shut him down. Everything is ruled by litigation anymore, even when it doesn’t need to be. If he’s insured, why does he need regulating? They conducted stings(!) to make sure he wasn’t charging and found nothing. Most of this is based on his juvenile (though charged as an adult) criminal behavior. He did his time, he found something he could do to stay out of trouble and benefit society. But that’s not good enough in a town like Quincy. Once a criminal you are always guilty. It makes you wonder how many of the city council consider themselves to be Christians.

What’s so dangerous about narcissists is this ability to convince people that if they fall from grace, so will everyone else.

I think Ireland is just behind the times compared to America and the rest of Western Europe. Sort of describes the banking and automotive industries that are too big to fail. No company is too big to fail, the world will go on and cope without you.  And we just might improve.
