U.S. Constitution 1, Simpleton 0

Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.

Heaven from Hell

A recent study reports that more than half of all the people executed in America suffer from a mental illness.

Cruel and unusual punishment, indeed.

Originally I had planned to end the post by saying "Sometimes there are no words."  But for some reason this old proverb popped into my head:  "There but for the grace of God, go I."

Onward "Christian" nation

Conservative hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio today fed the inmates under his charge a Thanksgiving meal (including a yummy vegetarian turkey soy casserole) for only .56 cents each.  You'd think that feeding them only two meals a day the other 364 days of the year, he might splurge a bit on this day of thanksgiving.

Nope.

You know, if God really does judge a nation based on how it treats the least among its citizens, we are in some seriously deep shit.
