Streak pointed me to an interesting story this morning on NPR (very classy dog, Streak) about our Attorney General. Evidently, Sir John has overruled DAs across the country who dared not seek the death penalty and tried to impose the highest punishment in any case that he can. The good news, for the bleeding hearts, is that his success rate is terrible. He has the same aggregate number of capital convictions as Janet Reno, but has gone after far more cases.

2 points: 1, maybe Americans are tiring of the death penalty. That would be nice. and b, what kind of goul is this guy? He seems to froth at the mouth at the opportunity to execute someone. Is this how Christians see capital punishment? As something that should be used more and more?

The story can be heard on NPR's website (npr.org)
