Mothers Day Kiss
Woke up Mothers Day morning to the sight of Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend’s cake covered face on SportsCenter… over and over and over. Sam, the first openly gay player in the league, was picked by St. Louis in the final round of the NFL draft. Football experts from Barack Obama to Peter King say this is a good thing. So it is.
No Kiss
It won’t be easy, though. I was reminded by a friend that Jonathan Martin got no kiss when his Dolphin teammates bullied him out of Miami to San Francisco last year. And Martin wasn’t even gay, just nice.
Benghazi Select Committee
Trey Gowdy will is ringmaster for the House select committee on Benghazi. Republicans on previous committees haven’t been able to resist the TV cameras.
World of Disappointment
GDP growth for the first quarter was 0.1%. The White House blamed it on cold weather. This week The White House said we are suffering from global warming. The New Yorker’s David Remnick thinks the world is a disappointment to the president.
Koch Addict
Dana Milbank says, “The time has come to stop the denial and to admit that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a Koch problem.” The Koch (pronounced “coke”) brothers donate millions to conservative and libertarian political causes. To Harry Reid that makes them “immoral and unAmerican. He thinks they have Republicans hooked. Here’s a link to a YouTube montage posted by Washington Free Beacon in which Reid mentions the Kochs 134 times.
I think I’m developing a Harry Reid habit.
Update: Whacked out Harry chasing greased GOP pigs!
Update: Harry says Kochs caused global warming!
Death from Complications of Execution
Suffering pets are put down humanely every day. Same goes for gramps if you live in Holland or Washington state. So what is it about death with dignity for degenerates?
Capital punishment by lethal injections is botched 7% of the times. It happened again last week in Oklahoma and last January in Ohio.
In 1999 Clayton Derrell Lockett shot Stephanie Neiman twice and then buried her alive in Oklahoma. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to die.
At 6:23 pm April 29, 2014, lest he be stressed out about his own demise, Lockett was given the sedative midazolam . He nodded off ten minutes later. Then a paralytic to stop respiration was administered along with potassium chloride to stop his heart. I’m not sure about the need to paralyze and suffocate the guy. It seems like stopping his heart might accomplish both those goals.
Execution Complications
Anyway, it didn’t work. Lockett started thrashing around and exclaimed “Oh man!”. At that point the proceedings were stopped. But the executioners blew that too. Lockett suffered a heart attack and died 43 minutes after the initial sedation.
Apparently, he succumbed to complications of his own execution.
